Borah 2014 Conditions

[wasatchrunner]

Anybody have any beta on the North Face of Mt Borah this year? We're trying to plan a 2-day trip starting from Rock Creek, camping at the base of the face, starting early to climb the face and descending via the hiking route (over chicken out ridge). Looks like most of the TRs I've seen have usually go around late Sept and early Oct but no one has conditions in the past year or two... Anybody been up there recently?

Thanks so much!!

No one seems to have fresh beta (including me), so I will jump in.

It has already snowed once this fall. That's OK- if you can get a cold night it should be similar to when we did it:

Here's a web cam that shows an oblique view of the face.

Good luck, and post up when you get 'er done.

A friend of mine climbed it last weekend and with no snow. please haul down the golf clubs if you summit. a few climbers lives depend on it. Thanks,

Mike-
You mean they climbed the standard route, correct?

OP was asking about the North Face.
