Chair Peak Saturday...or similar

[Justin_RR]

Looking at something quick Saturday. This rain-soaked/now frozen snow might make some good firm conditions for Chair's NF. I'd be up for similar climbs, too.

 

It makes me feel weird to think of going to the same area where those two folks died on Sunday, so soon after. But this is the playground we have chosen, and Nature can be a mean Mama...

 

I'm easier to reach via email: j.rolfe.redding@gmail.com, or by phone: 503-261-3349 (I live in Seattle).

Justin,

 

Did you do Chair Peak? How was it? If not, are you still interested. I'm in Seattle. Could do 15th or 16th or possibly during the week.

 

I did Hemlock Saturday. Snow is hard. Travel great. But I'm not so sure about how well pickets will hold. Snow is not consolidated inder hard surface.

 

I did Chair as a rock climb last spring. Would like to do in winter.

 

Also, would be interested in doing Bryant.

I think I may have seen you yesterday. My buddies and I were ice climbing on Bryant. Water was still running under/behind the ice and was verglas towards the top of the pitch. Hopefully, there are more cold temps in the next few days.

I didn't go up on Saturday. Looks like the weather tomorrow, Monday, should be good, and I'd be up for giving it a try, or later in the week. It looks like temps will be rising and snow coming down, though, so I'm not sure it will be in good condition.
