mikeadam Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Email Martin Volken at martin@proguiding.com. He was there in the last 5 days or so. Otherwise I may talk to him later, and I'll ask him. What in particular did you want to know about it? Route? Approach? Descent? Or all beta? Mike Adamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Did the route in 98'. The approach was a schwack! We went in from low on the Cascade river Road. Perhaps it would be easier to go from Cascade pass. Bring one axe, and crampons. Let us know what way you go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis_Baxstrom Posted July 31, 2001 Author Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hi, anyone been up this route to Formidable? Trying to locate some recent Beta, thanks, Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I would think the way to go would be over Cascade Pass and Cache Col. I went that way to the N. Face of Spider a couple of years ago, and we returned via the Spider-Formiddable col. The glacier crossing to get to the N. Ridge of Formiddable looked feasible. It would be a doable but somewhat strenuous two-day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis_Baxstrom Posted August 1, 2001 Author Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi again, we are planning to go up through Cascade Col and from camp(Kool-aid lake?) go under NE Buttress, traverse Formidable glacier and then access N.Ridge to summit, descend probably the same. Any thoughts? thanks again! Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
