svilar Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Did the NF Shucksan last Sunday 8/11. Snow conditions good despite warm night. 'Schrund on lower hanging glacier will be problem soon, but there is a good snow bridge now. Hardest part is thrashing through bushes on way to camp - try to follow faint climber's path.

Jason_Martin Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Coleman Headwall no longer looks like it is in condition. One may be able to climb it if you are willing to expose yourself to the danger of climbing overhanging seracs. Â The route saw a lot of action in June and July. But it has seriously deteriated in the last few weeks. Â Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Looked at Coleman Headwall last Thurs, the direct start looked a bit dangerous and unappealing, while traversing in from the left seemed like it might go but you would still have to contend with a serious looking schrund about 1/2 way up. Get there early, the snow was really soft already at 7am. Â Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
