Until I found this post I had no idea what I was going to do today. I'm literally running to the car right now to go climb the Si Glacier route. I'll post my TR tomorrow once I get down. Can't wait!!

Please be careful if you go...the lower half is heavily crevassed right now.

I was very surprised to see it survived the lack of snow last winter.

mt si is unique in that it's proximity to little T is so close that it gets a completely different kind of weather system there. it's quite amazing. only a few have surmounted little T.

Besides the OP date, the two things that gave away the punch line was the glacier could not survived Global Warming for 5 years and there is a poodle dressed as a husky mix in the last photo. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I headed up to the Mt. Si Glacier for the 10th anniversary of Opus's 2008 trip. Crevasses were mostly still covered. Fun trip.

Get it while you can! The glacier is rapidly retreating due to global warming! It's harder to find than ever.

I am reporting this claimed first assent to the American Alpine Club. I think it might be fraudulent.
