Jeff Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 hoi, anyone seen the N. Ridge of stuart and/or the stuart glacier lately? I'm planing on heading out there on friday. I'm wondering if there's any snow on route and what the glacier is look'n like. thx, Jeff Quote
ToyMan Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Anyone know if there's still snow/water available on the bivy sites at either 8200' or below the gendarme? Thanks, Quote
Jerm Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I was up there on Sat/Sun and there was snow to melt at the notch. A couple small patches, they may be gone after this weeks heat, but there was a large patch just the other side of the notch that should still be there. There was also a patch at the bivy in the notch just before the slab pitch that leads to the knife edge below the Gendarme (on the west side of the ridge). Glacier was in good shape, minimal crevasses, the party we met had crossed in tennis shoes without cramps (but with ice axes). BRING A BUG SCREEN Quote
ericb Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Where is the last running water before melting snow is the only option? Quote
