Shuksan or Eldorado ?

[rhyang]

I'm thinking of heading up in mid June to give a go at one of the following :

 

- Shuksan via Sulphide glacier

- Eldorado via Eldorado glacier

 

I did see the Shuksan TR from April. Any thoughts about this year's snowpack, approach, etc. ? (our original thought was to try Mt. Adams via the Adams Glacier, but it sounds like this year the approach would be murder in mid June)

If you go after shuksan, its in good shape for skiing right now which I think is the way to go on such a long, low angle glacier

All three options are a possibility really. How about a little input as to your skill level and what kind of experience you are looking for?

 

The adams glacier unkown is if the road is open and allows reasonable access for the amount of time you have. Alot can change between now and then so calling the rangers and checking on this board near your trip start is a good idea and then plan accordingly.
