Upper ice cliff glacier on Stuart?

[John Frieh]

I know the lower glacier is fairly nasty right now... I'm wondering about the upper cirque just below the NE face... Anybody have pictures or gotten a good look recently?

 

Please post pics if you have them! TIA!

I looked down it last weekend. Dont have pictures, but if you are planning on going down the top of the ice cliff it looked pretty nasty. The gully was kind of ugly looking.

NOLSe, I have lots of pictures from two or three weeks ago. Theres a few big cracks, but I don't think its going to be a problem. I have no way of posting them. There is a big crack right below the pillar that might make it hard getting on the ramp if memory serves right. I will check out the pics tonight and try and let you know.

Actually I figured out how to use the old library computers. Here you go:

 

Lower headwall:

 

 

I don't know if you have to cross this one, I cant remember how high it was in the upper cirque, cross your fingers that its low:

 

 

Looks like it could be sketchy, espcially if that bridge is down:

Looks bleak . . . .

And no sign of my ergo either!

 

Thanks Craig! See you up there?

I can't do it anymore. Have a good climb, send me some pics when you get back.

BUMP!

 

Does anybody have pictures or gotten a good look at any part of the ice cliff from either the north ridge or the moraine recently?

 

Please post pics if you have them! TIA!

Here's a photo I took from the N. Ride on 1 Sept. Overexposed, but maybe it'll help.
