OlympicMtnBoy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Anybody been in there this week with the hot weather? Was thinking of the North Ridge on Stuart and descending the Sherpa to get back to camp and gear for the second half of my trip. I'll be leaving Sat morning. Is the Sherpa still passable? Will I need to rap over the 'schrund now? Crampons needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicMtnBoy Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hmm, thanks Ivan, maybe if you let me know which question you're answering and how you know it might be more helpful. Anyone else been in there in the last week? It's gonna be a 5 day trip and I'd rather not have to carry more stuff than I need to, but I'll probably be slow and wise instead of fast and light and take some 'pons.
