looking for current conditions on the high sierra

Any updates on U-Notch or other Palisades conditions from last weekend?

-Brian

Stay away from Palisade Couloirs. U/V Notches are done, and the North Peak Couloirs do not look much better. L-Shaped snowfield on Sill is just barely holding on, things are going to get loose and dicey for approaches and descents in the next couple weeks once we bounce back from these lower temps.

Anyone have any updates for the Sawtooth Ridge area?

Thanks

Today there was ~3-6" of snow at the upper elevations of Abbot (summit 13.7K ft), which is in the vicinity of Bear Creek Spire. Hopefully this will disappear with next week's warming trend.

Sill to Tbolt update:
Great climbing conditions (we started on the Swiss Arete). L-shaped couloir is melting quickly (can pretty much climb it snow-free. If you are crossing the Palisade Glacier in the vicinity of Underhill Couloir watch for rockfall from the chossy cliffs below Tbolt (no issues on the route proper).

Adding source of major rockfall.
