selkirk Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Anyone been up there recently? Would also love to know what kind of shape the Cascadian is in right now. TIA Quote
telemarker Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Good 'ol NW Hikers is always a good conditions resource! Stuart N. Ridge from 7/24... And the Crapcadian Edited July 27, 2011 by telemarker Quote

selkirk Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks, I'll check it tonight. My work internet filter blocks NW hikers but somehow lets this bunch of degenerates through! Quote
pac man Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 We climbed the upper N Ridge 7/28. 4th class approach gully is filled with snow (with kicked steps) with what I'm guessing is the chockstone and some other rocks sticking out. Above the gendarme, we might have gotten off route trying to avoid some small remaining snow patches near the crest. The gendarme bypass looks like it has a decent amount of snow. Cascadian has ~400ft of snow immediately below the false summit (I don't recall much snow from the summit to the false summit), then ~400ft of scree, and then a long section of snow, probably close to 800 vt. ft. Hope that helps. Quote
selkirk Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Anybody up there this past weekend? Any snow left at the Notch, the traverse below the Gendarme, or even up near the summit? Heading up this weekend and planning to bivy on-route, but it sure would be nice not to carry 5L of water! TIA Edited August 15, 2011 by selkirk Quote
selkirk Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Bump, anyone up there recently? Any snow left at the Notch, below the Gendarme, or near the summit? Cheers Quote
