LonelySummit Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 In reading all the NWAC and looking at the trends for the weekend of April 12th and 13th; I'm a bit concerned regarding new snow and possibly winds above 9k. Anyone's thoughts on a Friday night climb through the Old Chute? I know spring is here soon enough; but a late winter climb has been on my radar for a few years.

LonelySummit Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 hahaha. that is EXACTLY what my ski partner on the climb said. So it looks like it's going to be Timberline lifts on Friday, and fresh pow on Helens Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelySummit Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 it's already spring I guess what I meant to say is that spring climbing will be here soon enough - As in Bluebird days, postholing down from the Hogsback. My last couple times skiing at Timberline, and skinning to the top of Palmer; there are plenty of winter storms still beating the shit out of Hood.
