Going to climb this in June. There will be snow. How will I know if I am still on the trail) I am worried about getting lost
@RadishUprooted7 сағат бұрын
The great thing about snow travel is you get to make your own path! I’d suggest downloading the GPX and topo files for offline use on your device, and using them as a reference to the terrain. But you’re not constrained to follow the summer route, you can take the path of least resistance and use your judgement and navigation skills. If you’re uncertain if you’re at that point in your outdoor experience yet, take a more experienced friend with you!

Hey! I don’t recall what gloves I was using at the time, but currently I use either my synthetic La Sportiva Ski Touring Gloves, or my leather Give’r Gloves which are both great. I tend to pair them both with a super thin Smartwool Glove Liner so even when I take my larger glove off to mess with my phone, buckles, etc. my hands aren’t fully exposed.

@RadishUprootedАй бұрын
Hey, it’s in the Wyeast Day Lodge! When you enter the building (it’s the more modern looking building, not the older looking lodge-that’s the Timberline Hotel), there will be a small climbers registration room on your right before you even enter the glass doors. It’s open 24/7 and has permits, blue bags, and informational material. There is no bathroom though, so go at the rest stop down in Govvy!

3:00 As far as I can see you are climbing with semi-auto crampons and horizontal frontpoints, are not they contraindicted in such cases? I mean some vertical sections of pure ice wall. I am just into winter climbing and trying to make sense of the used inventory, would appreciate some input 😊.
@RadishUprootedАй бұрын
You’re correct! I was climbing in semi-autos with horizontal front points which isn’t ideal but it’s all I had at the time. They weren’t as secure fitting onto my boots, nor as precise for foot placements on the ice as fully automatic vertical front points would be. But new crampons are expensive so sometimes you gotta make it work🤠

11500 is where the wind turned me back too when an untimely gust lifted my 220lb frame plus my 55lb pack right off the ridge and threw me down the slope. Only time I've had to self-arrest in 35 years of mountaineering. I can take a hint!

Thanks! The guiding companies allow anyone to use the ladders and other pro they’ve left on the route, but it’s by no means a trail. You still have to expect to do your own route finding, the route changes daily depending on conditions. Treat all of the ladders and pro as suspect and test everything. And yep make sure you have all the navigation and emergency supplies you’ll need.

Awesome video series and beautifully captured. Many of us who live here don’t fully appreciate what we have so close at hand. Perhaps that is for the better since the Olympic trailheads can get crowded - especially on nice weekends. At any rate, at the start, the ferry is actually from Coupville (on Whidbey Island) to Port Townsend, not Seattle. But maybe you are just trying to provide regional geographic orientation for the viewer. The body of water that you crossed in Admiralty Inlet. Fairly common to see harbor porpoises from the ferry and sometimes pacific white sided dolphins and orcas. The water on the east side of Whidbey Island is important early spring feeding area for grey whales (called the Sounders).

Hey thanks! We took the DC route both up and back down. The ladders and any other pro is set along the DC route by the guiding companies licensed to operate on the mountain for their clients. Anyone is welcome to use it, but if you’re not going with one of the companies, it’s fully up to you to assess, use, and navigate the equipment safely. Conditions change rapidly and ladders that were solid today may not be tomorrow.
