DPS Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Just in case nobody has thought of it, right now would be the time to try the FWA of the Torment-Forbidden Traverse. I would definitely be on that if I could. Quote
Rad Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need a new category: FPCCWA = First post-climate change winter ascent. Quote
GerritD Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I would be willing to try this. I have Wednesday to Sunday off work. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1135407/Let_s_climb_Triple_Couloirs_an#Post1135407 How far from summer conditions could we expect the climb to be? Quote

JasonG Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It didn't look like it was in "easy" shape by any means this past weekend. But, Dan's right, it is probably as good as it is going to get. Quote
ivan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 seems like torment can only be better when frozen solid Quote
OlegV Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 a freezing level on Forbidden is around 5000 ft - it doesn't look like there is any ice on it at the moment Quote
Jason4 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) It looked pretty snowy up there on Saturday. I think I have a picture from the Inspiration Glacier that I'll try to dig out tomorrow after work. Edited March 4, 2015 by Jason4 Quote
