So, here I was partner less. One guy sick, one in Patagonia and two others not able to split from work, I had to do the work all by myself. From what I knew about Mt Cashmere, in the winter it was basically 2 day ascent, boy was I wrong!

Strong work, Marek!
That's a lot of elevation gain for the winter. I dayhiked that one in the summer and I was pooped.

I read that report at CC, pretty hard packed and consolidated up there ? I saw the Eightmile and Cannon via Asgard reports too. Sounds sweet, thanks.

You're right. I started to think, that if the weather forecast on the west side is "so, so" I do not want to get wet again, and hightail home with no summit to show for. I did that last year with Colchuk and Dragontail, and I think, I'll do more venturing out east.

Few days ago? With the exception of short flat stretch in Pioneer Creek, everything else was a styrofoam good for crampons. On the way down, I lost 2000 feet in 5min sliding on my butt, then snowshoes all way to the car. BUT, now it is different; do not know how much its snowing there?
