Mt. weart Wednesday
Weekly Trip Plan/Conditions Question ThreadUser deleted comment
13d
There will be several meters of soft, warm snow well below the base of both cook and weart.
This is Blackcomb Peak today, 1000ft lower than Cook. Take everything for a winter ascent. Be avalanche aware. Fresh snow yesterday.
That group are the highest mountains in the area. Nearly 9000ft. I'd seriously pick somewhere else. It's ski season still. Snow starts at 5000ft right now.
If you’re looking for snow free peaks, Leading Peak, Gambier, and Mt Gardner would be your best bet as they are all islands, and sub 1000m. Short of that everything has snow. Check out Zenith Guides Email List list for superb ACMG written conditions reports.
There was fresh snow Saturday, so it’s still very much Spring conditions which means avalanche conditions are mostly heat/precip based, but there are winter conditions above 2000m. With a competent group you’d want advanced avalanche training and experience.
Solo that’s a hard no.
If it helps I would frame your post with:
Who you are -
Where you’re coming from -
Exactly what dates, and times you’re looking to do an objective -
Past peaks you’ve done that are similar, and how long it took you-
If you’re using it as a training objective, what is the bigger objective -
What snacks/skills/banter you bring to the table.
It will also be very snowy. They're is still meters of snow (many feet) in the alpine and Weart is a high alpine objective.
