summitseeker Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 1 night. Rough times are 6-8 hours from car to camp at the S-F col. 4 hours from camp to summit. 2+ hours from summit back to camp; 4-5 hours S-F col to car. Another option (as in my guide) is to camp at Kool Aid Lake instead and do most of it as a day trip. This works well if Formidable is your only objective, but it's also a long day. Day 2 is long no matter what though (unless you do 2 nights). --Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summitseeker Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Added more pics from Julian of Red Ledge, the Middle Cascade Glacier, and the arcing couloir. It is tremendous country. If you haven't gone there before, go this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
