diggler Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hoping to jump on Dragontail tomorrow. Anybody know what the descent conditions are? Crampons &/or an axe a good idea, or snow soft enough to just plunge step? Beta appreciated- thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 From sunday on stuart, snow was firm in the morning soft in the afternoon, didn't need more than tennis shoes in the afternoon. Additionally, there are several ways off dragontail without having to touch much snow, if any, if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zub Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Went down that southeast shoulder snowfield Saturday in the early afternoon. It was pretty soft; fine for plunging w/out crampons. Was glad to have an axe as we slipped a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
