Alex Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 Eldorado approach (via Eldorado and Roush (?) basins) is currently straightforward to the notch. Snow level is at around 6000 feet, making the going across the slabs and heather a little slippery. The plateau at 7200 has a foot of new snow on it, making travel here slow and tiring. The East Ridge is currently in fine shape, we did not see the condition of the other routes. If you are planning a trip up to do the E ridge, its a fine time to go. If you plan to do something else, plan for lots of time on the approach as the snow and glacier conditions do not make for speedy travel right now.
