Who's been up there? What do you think conditions will be like with some snow? Soloable?

Anyone know anything similar with less of an approach (especially if roads close after this storm) - i.e. 4th classish with rock and/or snow?

I did the east chute last month. Be super careful if you come down that way- it's incredibly loose.

Thanks for the info Sam. Yeah that is supposed to be the typical descent, and I've heard it can be loose.

Come on somebody must have been up the north face - speak up!

Or someone's gotta have some tips on another good 4th class rock/snow route in the area...

Probably not until the 19/20th or later. Work this week, friend this weekend, then a week and a half off. That'd be sweet if you wanted to give her a whirl. Should be fun with that new snow we're gonna get! Shoot me an email - wbuckingham123@yahoo.com.
