Juan Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 With high pressure on the horizon, the inevitable question comes up: If you have a day to climb later this week and a gung ho partner, what would you do in WA or northern OR? Anyone know about Chair, Eldo Couloir, or other stuff that might be in/doable in a longish day? Your thoughts will be appreciated. John Sharp Quote
Billygoat Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Yeah, anyone know if the Cascade River Road is closed at the second gate yet?? Quote
DPS Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I bet NW Ice Coluloir on Eldo is in good shape. Quote
Juan Posted November 15, 2005 Author Posted November 15, 2005 Yeah, but the only guy I know who has done it in a day is Colin. Solo. The only thing I have on him is the ability to grow a full beard. What do you think, Dan? One-day for an older gentleman? John Quote
DPS Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 What about NF Hood before the crowds hit it this weekend? Quote
Hal_Burton Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 What about NF Hood before the crowds hit it this weekend? That sounds goo....oh, wait a minute. This just in... Thursday night: Mostly clear. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Friday: Mostly sunny. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Friday night: Mostly clear. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Saturday: Mostly sunny. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Saturday night: Mostly clear. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Sunday: Mostly sunny. Free air freezing level 12000 feet. Dammit.

specialed Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I bet N Face Chair might be in decent shape soon. Worth checking out anyway. Avy situation will be safe anyway. Quote
Juan Posted November 15, 2005 Author Posted November 15, 2005 These are good ideas. Alas, new real estate clients e-mailed this morning and want to see houses Thurs. Duty calls. Go get on Hood, someone. Cheers, John Sharp Quote
Alex Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 chair wont be close this week. the winter approach to source lake was soft and unconsolidated last weekend, there was not a hint of ice anywhere in the valley (OK, i did see *one* icicle). it was fun snowshoeing/skiing and being out in zero vis, though. i dont think eldo would be a good idea as a day trip now Quote
