Mt Olympus do-able

[luvshaker]

I know, I know, move it if you must.

 

Does anyone have any experience climbing Mt Olympus this time of year? Any ideas on what to expect?

 

Thanks,

Did it last year in early Sept and it was in excellent condition. This year should be generally similar, slow melt behind a long cool spring. Hard to tell if the late drought had much of an impact.

 

Would check with Park Service at PA, if you haven't.

But don't necessarily take their word as gospel. Was told by one ranger at the Hoh Visitor Center in late season that we would NOT make the summit. We did, it just took a little creativity. Good luck!

Well, since the main enemy would be precipitation and there has been so little, I'm betting it is a still go. Might not be after this coming weekend though.
