| bad news in late season. too much rock fall. wasn't planning to head this route, however the chimneys turn into a rockchute. unrelyable rock and crap snow even at 4:30 am. rock fall all night was very intimidating. i camped too low; opptimal camping with early start at tie in rock(huge rock on the ride, you can see it from clowdcap, it's on the trail-can't miss it.)crystal clear day with outstanding view of Mt Adams. would not solo this ever again, but i'd love to return. carry over to hogs back and hich-hike to clowdcap. |
