DPS Posted March 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonG Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 seems like torment can only be better when frozen solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegV Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason4 Posted March 4, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
