alpine et Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Anyone been down the Cascadian recently? I'm guessing it's all dry by now, but didn't want to get surprised by a few hundred feet of bulletproof snow up high... thanks Erik Quote
Pete_H Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 There's no way there's any snow left up there. Quote
umupfumu Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Climbed it yesterday upper snow field is still there but thin not good for climbing. I scrambled up the moat. Was glad to have my ice ax. Quote
alpine et Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Climbed W. Ridge Saturday... no snow you *have* to walk on, but it was soft enough to plunge step down about 500' with a pole. If I had an axe, would have plunged step a further 500' or so above as well... but it was a bit steeper. Decent snow on the bivies after Long John Tower... they'll be water there for a little longer.
