This is excellent, thanks for the report. No wet loose avalanche concerns in the morning on the north face?

When we did this route quite some time ago, after reaching the point where the road trailed off in the woods, we dropped down to the left, crossed the drainage and made an angling ascent up the opposite side. It was mostly open forest, albeit quite steep. There was still a bit of bushwhacking, but I think this may lessen it to some degree. We came back down the White Salmon proper, and I still have the scars to prove it.
