marek Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Trip: Mt Roosvelt Mar 15 - STD Date: 3/20/2007 Trip Report: I guess I got lucky with rhe weather on Thursday, so off I was. Left home at 4:30am and while driving to S-Pass I realized! I forgot my headlamp; no problem, a quick stop at N Bend gas station and $5 less in my pocket off I was to Alpental. At 6am, right before I left my car, the darn flashlite stopped working! OK! back to the car and wait while listening a bit more to NPR News and more Bush bashing! Left at 6:45am and blazed to Source Lk in 30min. There was 3" Fluff on top of hard snow and the going was perfect. 30min later I was at Snow Lk (frozen! Yes!)then forward (again I had ideal conditions) I had a significant help from high Cirrus clouds blocking clouds and thus the fluff stayed dry. the last 500ft or so was quite steep and exposed; right up to 50% or so, of rimed up and hard snow, mixed with unconsolidated stuff. Topped at 11am and back at the car at 1:30pm. Looking at the NF of Chair; it looked all good to go and plastered with white stuff.
