Conditions and Routes on Sloan?

[brendan w]

Has anyone been up Sloan recently? We are considering heading that way later in the week and any beta on the approach and conditions on the upper mountain would be appreciated.

 

We are still debating routes with the Corkscrew as an option but also liking the sound of the SE face as described by Becky. In particular his "rock is superb" description.

 

Thanks in advance for all helpful information.

I was up there on saturday and conditions seemed pretty ideal. I wanted to climb the north ridge but the Bedal Creek approach didn't really work for that route like the guide said it would. I tried to climb the sw face (ridge), but I didn't know anything about it and didn't have a rope so I backed off. The rock was very good and I will go back. Go get it.
