Gaper_Jeffy Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yeah, I hear ya about the telemarkers . . The road to Cloud Cap is fully opened, it opened sometime last week. The "ruts" the USFS receptionist emphasised as bad are pretty minor (imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffh Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice going! Looks like everyone had a great time. Quick question. Which trail do you usually go to get up onto snowdome? I've hiked both (crossed the temporary bridge and up the right moraine/up left moraine and crossed between the ice falls). Since they were done on different years, I couldn't really remember which seemed easier/faster. Thanks again for posting the pictures and reminding me that I wasted a play day with a "family get together" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hiked both (crossed the temporary bridge and up the right moraine/up left moraine and crossed between the ice falls). I always go up the moraine on climber's right (the Eliot east moraine), then quickly cross the snowfield underneath Langille crags (there's rockfall hazard here) and hike up the dome. Look for the use trail on your left once you cross Eliot creek and get into the forest. Here's the GPS map: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffh Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks. I figured that was probably the best way to go. Once made the mistake of thinking we could just stay on the tline trail and find a place to cross where the bridge is washed out after a day on snowdome. Not a good idea. By the time we scrambled down to the water and saw how high and fast it was, we knew we were screwed. Some big jumps between rocks with a heavy packs made for an exciting ending of an otherwise fun ski trip in the middle of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they were done on different years, I couldn't really remember which seemed easier/faster. wasted I think going up the left side and not crossing the creek was a little quicker. This was the first time I had gone up the right. The only thing about going up the left side is you have to cross on the lower glacier and it seemed a little harry when I've done it. So, I guess I prefer the right side. This trip It was nice to be able to ski to the Tline trail. With an easy hike out. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
