North Twin Sister

Recommended Posts

New years day we climbed the N. twin in fairly good conditions, though quite hungover and naseated. The original plan was via the W ridge, but we opted for the north facing snow slopes instead.

The snow had a styrophomey crust on top of less consolidated powder. Without snowshoes, we were punching through alot. I don't know enough about avi conditions to make a prediction, but it seemed somewhat safe. There was evidence of a couple avalanches on the way up originating from the sides, but the main route (N face) had no evidence of recent slides.

It ended up being a very nice winter day-trip in seemingly good conditions, despite the logging road/bushwacking approach (bring a mountain bike if you have one). Though, since we have been having pretty considerable precipitation here in Bellingham for the past couple of days, the conditions may have changed significantly.
