Cpt.Caveman Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 You will not need them. The only snow is a tiny patch near the summit and you can avoid it easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Came down the cascadian yesterday. There is little snow to be found and, like said before, can be bypassed. I forgot how hienous of a descent it was! make sure you've got good beta as route finding can be tricky. The gully is full of loose boulders ready to come down. Capt- I saw your post in the register, pretty tame- I was very dissapointed. I expected a couple of pages of profane and vulgar spraying!
