Has anybody been to North Peak recently? If so, what are the conditions like for the Northeast Couloir?

Thanks!!
Steven

Done that route a few times, but not this year. I'd bet the snow is still pretty soft. It normally doesn't turn to good ice until August-September. Hopefully someone with better info will chime in. Good luck.

I think it is still getting skied. saw a pic on instagram a couple days ago so would guess there is no ice yet.

I was up there last Friday and spoke with two individuals that climbed it. It's hard snow, turning slushy towards the top later in the day. They said they got a late-ish start (9am) and I ran into them back at the parking area close to about 4:30pm. If that gives you a good idea of what timeframe you can send the couloir in. I took a photo of approach conditions as well, will post it up soon.

Cheers
