Routes that have gotten way easier/harder

[EWolfe]

The start to Wedding Day is harder, due to erosion at the base.

 

A key hold broke off of Zebra seam, making it a bit harder.

I've been on the Price a few times and it's still classic as far as I'm concerned.

After extensive reviews of your trip reports, I've concluded that all of your adventures are classics Mr. Sjue.

Glacier Peak is more difficult now due to the destruction of the White River road and trail. :-)

[G-spotter]

And therefore Liberty Bell is much easier now that there is a paved road to the base instead of a mule trail.

Very much so...obviously neither example increases technical difficulties, but having way easy access makes the whole trip easier.

himalayas in the 50s vs himalays in the 00s. Alot easier to be in shape for the climb if you didn't have a month long trek to get to basecamp.

Have you seen it totally dry tho? I would assume you've been on skis most times. It definitely gets seriously melted out. We went up there in Nov once, before any snow, and it would make a cool ice challenge, which is why we were up there. I'd have to agree, however, that it is still way worth doing. The area is so nice.

 

I think it may have lost popularity and gotten a "bad rep" due to it no longer being a simple slog, which is I think is what most people want it to be.
