Steph_Abegg Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Trip: Eldorado climb and overnight - Eldorado glacier Date: 2/20-21/2010 Trip Report: It was a stellar weekend that yet again seemed more like May weather than February, so I headed up to spend a night on Eldorado with my friend Dave Chase. We encountered snow at 4000ft, and found snowshoes the best footwear the rest of the way to the top. We enjoyed a spectacular sunset, moon and stars, and sunrise, and the photos were well worth the cold fingers. As usual, I've posted a full trip report with lots of photos on my website: http://sites.google.com/site/stephabegg/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/eldoradowinter Here are a few photos: 6700ft Eldorado Creek Approach Route Twilight over Eldorado Glacier Dawn over Eldorado Glacier Dave nearing the summit. The summit ridge was in great condition.

Josh Lewis Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Thats it! Now I have to do Eldorado Peak, I've been drooling about the idea for a while, and am in the best shape of my life! This is the second trip report I've seen of a trip this week. Quote
