bdwbdn Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hey all, Just in Leavenworth for the next week and was wondering if anyone knew the conditions for Mt. Stuart. Was hoping to do the Upper North Ridge route. How much harder would the route be if there was still quite a bit of snow up there? If it's not in condition, does anyone have any recommendations for moderate alpine climbs? Quote
Buckaroo Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 You can see Stuart on the drive over if you take I90. I'm sure there's still snow on the upper parts. The melt makes all the upper cruxes wet even the bypass. If it went it would be full value. Quote
Sol Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Been some fresh snow in them hills this week, but you never know, could be just fine. Quote
montypiton Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 from O-zone yesterday, Stuart looked like April -- LOTS of snow. probably entertaining as long as you're prepared for it... for the standard North Ridge route, it shouldn't pose much difficulty except possibly at the gendarme bypass. might be a pitch of spicy mixed there.

bdwbdn Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks everyone! If we end up getting out there then I'll give an update on the conditions. Quote
