marknjenny Posted November 21, 2000 Posted November 21, 2000 Has anyone been up Colchuk recently? I am thinking about a climb there this weekend. Anyone have suggestions re: gear, crevasse danger, etc? Is it doable in November? Any special routefinding difficulties on the approach? Quote
Alex Posted November 21, 2000 Posted November 21, 2000 Check out the conditions on Colchuck Peak under the "Alpine Lakes" section of this web site. It has not snowed since we were there two weeks ago, so conditions will likely be similar. Quote

pete_a Posted November 23, 2000 Posted November 23, 2000 bummer on having all that new snow up there for the climb. I did Colchuck last October and it was a great, easy ice climb, with 40 degree hard glacial ice that we had to do a running belay on with ice screws. Guess it all depends on what time you go...I've heard Colchuck can be a great ski in the winter and spring from the col down to the lake. Quote
