Lowell_Skoog Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Ross Peritore and Jason Cassarino climbed the north face on March 22, 2004, then skied it. I believe this was just a day or two after winter ended. (I'm never too clear on when the equinox falls in any particular year.) That's the closest anybody has come to a winter ascent of the north face that I know of. I suspect that Phil is aware of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yes, as in pbelitz knows that it has not. They also skied the Northeast couloir the next day. Amazing awesome trip those guys had in there: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/326329/an//page/0/vc/1 but "technically" not winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 This is one of those cascade routes were the difficulty between doing it in "winter" or "spring" can be decided by using a snow-machine. In other words, if you want the first winter ascent of that route, go rent a snowmobile for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
