t_rutl Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Anybody been up there within the last week? How's the couloir approaching the West Ridge, still a means of ascent? Last year that thing was toast by August but that was a hot year. Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hopefully someone will post a recent pic for you, but regardless of its condition you can always climb the rocks to the left. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_rutl Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I just got word from somebody who was up on the 6th and said the 'schrund was barely passable and the moat was getting nasty. They estimated a week left and with the hot weather coming I think the rocks will be the bet. Taking a buddy up for his first alpine outing so was hoping the couloir would be in for the variety it adds. Thanks for the bump!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
