Dchromey Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I wish more climbers would report on the beta of the mountain and the conditions. It would help us all out and help the rangers as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoashman Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My friends and I climbed and descended the Tahoma Glacier this last weekend. (Sat. July 6th) We bivied at around 7800 ft. at the toe of the Puyallup Glacier on Friday afternoon and climbed it Saturday. The entrance ramp at around 10k is still in decent shape. Route finding was of course challenging. Many of the snow bridges are melting out fast. We spent most of the time finding our way through and up the center of the glacier. The snow was firm well into the morning; however the descent was a bit of a bitch. We experienced warm temps and very soft unconsolidated snow, lots of post-holing to our knees and sometimes to our waist. I think in hindsight a carry over and descent down the DC would be a much better option. http://foursquaremountaineering.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
