fishstick Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Trailhead is free of snow. 2cm of fresh snow at glacier. Recent cold temperatures on the glacier have significantly increased the hardness of the ice in areas in areas shaded all day. Features getting any amount sun are in good condition. Snow has drifted into many slots with coverage of several feet in tight ones - watch what you're walking on. All creek crossing very slick, as are sections of the upper trail. Ski poles are recommended. Anti-bottes too is you're exploring. Overall it's fantastic. Travel in the icefall is still pretty easy, just more serious than a couple of weeks ago. The snow makes everything feel real. Expect a few chunks in the face on the steep stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
