Voted 8/10 | Two friends and I did this climb on 4-22-08. We did not, however, climb to the saddle but went up a minor drainage south of the lower Everest Ridge, then angled over into the North Fork couloir. We wore crampons from about 9,300' and reached a point north of the Glacier Saddle 5 hours after leaving the TH. Our trek to the true summit took another 50 minutes but was well worth the effort. This is a fine spring snow climb. |
