BirdDog Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Trip: Eldorado - Eldo Glacier-East Ridge Date: 7/2/2011 Trip Report: We were shooting for Eldo/Klawatti together but Sunday's weather derailed Klawatti. Topped out on eldo about 7:30PM on Sat. Apart from some post holing at about 8500', snow conditions were great, no crampons needed. The Eldo glacier is very filled in on the east side, no open cracks. Woke Sunday to wind, sideways rain, and 20' of visability. Headed down in the rain. No north cascade trip would be complete without a fight fest with some face slapping slide alder, so we got a little off route in the bolder field and shwacked for 400'. Gear Notes: Took crampons, but didn't need 'em. Approach Notes: Snow starts 1/2 way up the first bolder garden, continuous from there. Moats beginning to form but are easy step across.
