thatcher Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hello, Wondering current conditions for Glacier Peak. I read all the recent trip reports. We will be hitting the mountain this coming monday-wednesday. Wondering if there is anything recent in the last few days. Planning on heading up the From the North Sauk Trail. Is the road passable to the trailhead? Are there any major creek crossings to be aware of? I was planning on avoiding rope travel. Is this in shape for unroped travel? Is it not preferable to head straight up Disappointment Peak? Or should we head around to the Cool Glacier? If so, is the glacier fairly safe for unroped travel? I do have glacier travel experience. I just don't know the condition of the glaciers/route. Thanks, Thatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The road to the North Sauk is just fine. My trip was a few weeks back. I didn't see any crevasse issues on the Gerdine or Cool glaciers at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshamster Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 the road to the trailhead is fine, but anyone traveling on the mtn. loop hwy in the next few weeks needs to check this website: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/mbs/conditions/road_conditions_report.shtml there will be full road closures at times, so getting to rd. 49 could be problematic. cheers jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniac Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Climbed Glacier unroped last Saturday. There are crevasses opening up on the Cool, but they were all very apparent. Left early from camp (4am) and everything was solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
