Leavenworth or Snoqualmie Pass on Saturday?

[jared_j]

A friend and I want to hit some easily toprope-able ice either in the Snoqualmie pass or Leavenworth areas (Millenium wall?). The weather forecast looks good (cold, no more snow) and the avalanche risk looks like it's settled down at Snoqualmie.

 

If anyone heads up there before then, beta about conditions would be appreciated.

With the recent weather you may be taking your gear for a walk. But hiking looking for ice beats sitting on ass at home watching TV.

The weather in L-town has not dipped below freezing in 3 days.

We went for a hike today around Bridge Creek. Pretty warm and thin. Didn't take tools, just out to stretch the legs. It will be a while before anything comes in.

Damn, thanks for the heads up though!

Judging from current live view of Icicle Junction (in town) it doesn't look like that water is flowing. 27° is current temp. You might get lucky up the creek.

FYI Snoqualmie

 

A buddy of mine hiked around Alpental today and said it looked bleak; not worth wasting our time on. He didn't hike as far back as Source lake so not sure about that area.

A buddy and I went to Alpental in search of easy ice on Sunday not wanting to stay indoors. Alpental I - IV are nowhere close to in yet, and Chairlift Falls has got a ways to go yet. Others were able to find ice on Chair according to another thread on the board.
