BirdDog Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Trip: Torment-Forbidden Photo Beta - North Date: 7/2/2011 Trip Report: Here's a photo for anyone thinking about the north side of Torment/Forbidden; taken from Eldo. Snow conditions are good, a little soft in places but no crampons needed right now on Eldo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckaroo Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I wouldn't climb on small patches of steep snow in these conditions. They tend to spontaneously sluff off from the melting. Was climbing Liberty Crack one time and heard/saw one come off the summit area, then we had to climb past one on the last pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Was up there yesterday. NW face forbidden is not happening right now. Steep sketchy snow. N ridge Forbidden not happening due to large cornice remnants still needing to fall off. Torment forbidden not happening due to snow patches sluffing off on route to summit on Torment. West ridge of Forbidden is good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
