Trip: alpental falls

 

Date: 12/20/2008

 

Trip Report:

12-20-08.

 

First time at alpental. Snowing with cold temps throughout the day. Lots of powder, so take big snowshoes or skis. If I had to guess at a depth, I would put it at five feet, which accounts for windloaded areas and terrian features. Perhaps closer to 4 feet overall. With the snowpack being what it is, avalanche danger was low. Some signs of surface sluff, but that's suppose to happen. We could still see some running water under some ice. The Northern end had the bulk of formations with the rest being shallow. A pair leaving on our arrival said they were hitting lots of rocks on the higher areas. Because we aren't the best ice climbers we stuck to lower step and just messed around for while. gallery link: http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=42996
