davidjo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 We climbed the Easton Tuesday morning. Snow stopped our cars maybe 100 yards from the parking lot, so it'll likely melt out by the weekend. The trail was maybe 60% snow in the trees and 100% snow above. The trail on the railroad grade itself is mostly snow free. Portable toilets had not been flown in yet. It was sunny enough that we found water in the rocks near the moraine about 6000'. The clear skies hardened things up nicely, so we used crampons from basecamp. The glacier was in great shape with few open crevasses, but we had one guy punch through to his thigh. We stayed on the far right side of the Roman Wall and that went well. On the summit it warmed up enough that we took crampons off for the descent. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
