Icicle Ridge. Saturday 4/10 |
|
  |
|
|
Weather permitting this weekend, my goals are to enter via 4th of July and exit Icicle Ridge. Anyone up for a small snowshoe?
The goal would be to park two cars, one at either end. Any takers for this Saturday 4/10? |

Forecast doesn't seem to be in our favor for a trek up icicle this weekend. Great weekend for any who do skiing or snowboarding I assume though.

I'd be interested if I can get EK to change his mind on Goblin. |

Tell EK to come over. We'll make sure he gets back to work on time.  |

As of right now, my plans are solid to go for it.
Dave, you still up for ascending 4th, descending Icicle? Park two cars?
My idea, early in, early out. Alpine start, 4-4:30am?
EDIT:::::
Okay...canceled again due to no partner/questionable avy conditions. oh well, best to err on the side of caution. |
