alpine et Posted July 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 There's no way there's any snow left up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umupfumu Posted July 12, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine et Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share 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.
