ericandlucie Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Anybody done the headwall recently? Can you enlighten us about conditions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climbaround Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) I skinned all the way up to the false summit via the Roman headwall today - smooth and easy, good soft snow, no scrambling on mud like last year this time. Skiing down was quite good. A bit crusty up top (windy) but smooth and firm by 1/4 way down the headwall, then nice mushy corn all the way down to the end of the snow. Get after it this week.

esugi Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Friday's storm dumped about 7+ inches of snow on the upper mountain. The wind loaded slopes up to a foot. In fact, the Lower slopes of Coleman Headwall and the snow slope below Northridge released (likely slab avi) Saturday afternoon (we were descending after our successful attempt of Northridge). Wait atleast until this weekend to let the snow settle. Otherwise, the conditions look good. Beware of crossing the glacier. Very tricky route finding and we punched through couple of times.
