S Face Prussik on 10/11 or 10/12

So, no one is interested in the desert. How about one of the S Face routes on prussik in a day. Weather pending. Looking good so far on NOAA. Will likely change.

Are you talking about doing it in a day from the parking lot? If so, good luck. It is a hell of a long hike and the days are getting shorter really fast.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Canadug. You are a real cheerleader. You should buy a headlamp. There are a bunch of them on the market and they make pre dawn starts and post sunset returns possible.

 

Still Looking...

[canadug]

I was actually giving a word of advice....If you wish to take it otherwise that is your issue. I have actually done that and other climbs in the area with and without a headlamp. Good luck finding someone.

[pu]

Thanks, I do hope to find someone.

Less of a hike and some more climbing and I'm in. I've got a lot of ideas.

i am also interested in doing something of that length, if it doesn't snow too much before that weekend, with either of you, on the twelfth.

Mt. Cashmere had a good dusting of snow Saturday, temps not expected to get much above mid 50's in Leavenworth this weekend, so expect much colder up high. But hey, I bet you'll have the S. Face to yourself!

[pu]

Thanks for the beta on Cashmere. Cold rock is good. Snow. Ugh.

Alright Dirtyleaf or Sisu. What would you like to do? I am planning on arriving before noon on Saturday. I am available all day on sunday. I climb in the 10's comfortably. Open to suggestions.

My wife and I just got snowed on some alpine rock in the region, be ready for a bit more snow/rime/ drippage than expected even on the southern aspects.

Just saw that Stevens Pass has close to a foot of snow on the ground with more coming tomorrow......Ski season is oh so close.

[pu]

Snow? Sweeeeeeet. We'll be climbing Ice soon.
