arentz Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm considering going up the sulfide with some very fit friends this Friday. They have modest glacier experience so we should move at a fair pace but will not be setting any speed records. Since I have obligations this weekend, I wanted to do it in one day (or at the least, get back early Saturday). If you've done it in a day, how long has it taken? Also, if anyone has info on what kind of shape the sulfide is in, it would be appreciated. Cheers arentz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_rutl Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 depending on how long it takes you up the pyramid 10-12 hrs would be at an ok pace...a good friend and her hubby did in under 8 in late late season form...i think early sept...but they were hoofing it and in great shape the Sulfide should still be pretty tame good luck!

counterfeitfake Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I did it back in my early days of climbing, I think it took us 14 hours. We moved pretty quick on the way up, but did take a nap at the base of the summit pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshamster Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 sumthin' like 5 or 6 hrs. Of course the snowboard helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinomyte Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Did Fisher Chimneys a couple days ago, so only saw the Sulphide from Hells Highway up. Couple crevasses right there, easily skirted by the 3ft wide, 1 ft deep bootpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
