iluka Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Anyone been up in the area of North Twin Sister lately and have any idea what the road access is and how conditions are on the peak? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesclaassen Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I was up on 4-20, thin crust early, deep wet & unconsolidated afternoon. Lots of wet stuff has slid, probably more by now. West ridge is pretty clean. Roads are fine up to the trailhead at the bridge over the middle fork off of road 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluka Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Were you able to mountain bike up the road past where you parked or did you have to snowshoe or ski it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluka Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 As of May 7, conditions are pretty good on the route. Just did it today. One can push or ride their bike from the parking spot all the way to the start of the ridge climb at 4,100 feet. The ridge is essentially free of snow and ice. The north face descent is covered in snow -- pretty soft and easy to downclimb and plunge step in at present. Not very deep coverage, however, so not clear how long the descent route will stay good.
