WA Pass Beta

[KaskadskyjKozak]

Anyone up there yesterday? I'm wondering how much snow ended up falling up there and if it is likely to melt off this week (it is forecast to be sunny all week).

Here's how it looked from the road Saturday afternoon:

we climbed at the pass on Sunday, Monday was even better.

Will soon post pictures proving we hiked up to m and m wall with only shorts and t-shirts. On the hike up the gully which is shaded all day we walked on 1 cm of days old snow, only got the bottoms of our shoes wet. We climbed with pants and light shirts.

Though certain members of the spokane sport climbers TEAM declined to come with us to climb because his i-book told him that it would be cold, we found this to be the best outing of the year, glorious sun, not sweating or greasy.

 

M and M wall faces dead south, sees sun all day. when the sun moved out of the picture at about 5pm it did get a little cool, but not cold.

 

 

warm and sunny

I haven't been up there this year but some of the best climbs I have ever done have been at WA Pass in late October.
