Climbed the North Face on Sat. 7-20. The conditions were good. Crampon crunching, pick eating hard snow the whole way. We used no pickets or srews. Pickets could have been placed no problem but there is still no ice to speak of.

The route should be in shape for awhile. We left Sahale Camp at 4:15 am and were on top at 8 am.We had hard snow down into horseshoe basin. Waiting longer would have been better to get softer snow. The exit back to Sahale arm is melting out and will probably be without funkness for only another 2 weeks.

wow, impressive Dale. On same morning we were atop Eldo looking at Buckner - we were thinking about you.

 

Good to run into you at the M'mount RS. Congrats on your summit.
