Alex Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 this route typically is only "ice" late in the year, like Oct-Nov. this time of year is likely frightening oatmeal snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbb Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 This time of year I bet it is all snow--which would be fun if it freezes over night. It's really just an east facing glacier that ramps up to 45-50 degrees for a couple rope lengths. I did the route in early october and found it to have some ice, some fresh snow. I bet september would be great as you wouldn't have any fresh covering the ice. In November it would be under 4-6" of fresh, but there would be ice underneath.
