A friend and I climbed a potentially new scottish route across from the snow creek wall last week. 5 pitches, AI2, M4 snow to 70 degrees. The rain might be blowing it. I'm gonna try to do a trip report with more details before the month is over in a couple of days.

 

Personally I'd be very afraid of the stuff around colchuck right now. Meters of snow have fallen since the last big avalanche cycle up there. Might get some rain up high which will be a good start, but a few days of heat and sun (followed by cold) are also needed. The central cascades has now seen 2 avalanche deaths in the last month which is pretty terrible.
