ckouba Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Anyone been to Mt Washington lately? Is the PCT passable? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeMack Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 This picture is from 2.5 weeks ago (May 30). My guess is that you'll still find snow covering some of the PCT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinp Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm confuzzed are you wanting to climb washington or hike the PCT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm just guessing here. Probably wants to hike the PCT to access the Mt. Probably feels like if there's any snow on route (probably isnt as it slid off), that's manageable or they can bail, but doesn't want to have to both posthole and routefind on snow all the way in.

Yep- reading my mind. PCT = easy access for a peak that doesn't really validate waging war for access. I figure(d) the route would be clean enough but the snow would likely linger in the forest. That pic changes my mind about everything though- the lake is still frozen! I'll come back when it's a clearer shot. JoeMack- THANKS for posting the pic!
