hakioawa Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 We tried. We made it to 13,000 on the Emmons route. Conditions we're pretty good. The route had a thin layer of firm snow with ice in patches, but not too bad. The route had a lots of small crevasses down low, but most we're well wanded. The route wonders a lot. A bunch of groups made it. The weather started comming in at about 7:00am. It looked to be getting bad, so we turned back, but it cleared up in the end.

r Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Does anyone know anything about the conditons on the Tahoma Glacier route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 I scoped it out with binoculars from the highway between Elbe and Ashford this past Thursday. It looks solid/smooth. A couple of small crevasses near the top of The Sickle if you're planning to go that way. Of course, the approach is still a bitch! WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO OPEN WEST SIDE ROAD???!!! They say it's safe enough for a shuttle bus ("someday") but not safe enough for personal vehicles. BS! They close roads and then gripe about Paradise being "too crowded" and their favorite cliche: "loved to death". The Tahoma is one route on Rainier where I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty ignoring registration requirements. Flame suit on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
