Just chatted with someone in town a few minutes ago. Full mountain views! I am on Casaval. Scott

Me and Mud will be there tommorow afternoon:]

You guys have a great trip and enjoy!

Good luck guys. I'd be interested in what the conditions on Casaval are. Planning on heading up in 2 weeks, assuming weather cooperates.

4.15.10



Clear all day with cold temps in the morning, made for superb skiing. Tax day and I got paid.



Depending on which forecast you believe, there may be an opportunity for a climb this weekend. Be safe and have fun!

Thanks Chris!!

About the best weather ever! Although, my choice of partners was not ! Don't you love it when they tell you they've been training and then give out below the first window!!! My climb was very short! How big was your group ? I have a pic of a group on Green Butte from across Avy. Could have been you ? Scott

That was you, BIG GROUP! I will get a pic soon to you. Scott

Yummy pics

super sick photos dude...!

in two weeks patty and i are planning to climb casaval and ski down avy gluch. your photos are good confirmation of conditions. gracias!

I was on the 4-person rope team. We started at around 1:00 in the morning from high camp (10400 feet), and reached the summit at around 8:00.

The Catwalk was pretty narrow in a couple of spots. This was my first time up Casaval. In 2005 and 2006, I took the Avalanche Gulch route.

Some photos of the Casaval Ridge route, April 15-18:

telewoman: It must be nice to live so close to the mountain. About how many times a year do you go up there?

dynamokiev: How did you like Sergeant's Ridge, compared with Casaval?

It looks like Andy from North Carolina. He was the only one in our group wearing an orange jacket.

Thanks for posting the photos. It might be interesting to try the Sergeant's Ridge route sometime.
