Mountaineering

Current Conditions

Although we did have a blizzard event in early January which brought 7+ feet of snow, high winds have kept the mountain above tree line looking much as it did before the storm. Especially on ridges and other prominent features, winds have scoured the snow down to rocks. This has kept both the Green Butte/Sargents Ridge and Casaval Ridge routes in poor condition. Both of these routes are better when caked with snow and rime ice. Also be aware of wind slabs which have formed on all aspects over the last 2 weeks. Winds have also kept some water ice patches uncovered on glaciers and also have made some snow bridges over crevasses thick, while others are missing or thin. Experience and caution is a necessity!
