Anyone been up to WA pass or the enchantments to see snow conditions on routes? Prusik or anything on the Liberty Bell group.

Someone posted a TR with lots of pictures from WA pass yesterday.   cascadeclimbers.com/forum/t…

 I had a friend attempt the Beckey Route on Sunday only to get turned around due to ice... then had the same thing happen on P2 of SEWS when they tried that instead.   This was on 5/22. 

A few more days of warm weather/rain could help... but I'd bring the skis for the approach/descent!

The skin in, rock route, ski out combo is so elusive yet so satisfying. Not many places feature such excellent qualities at the same time and WA pass is one of the best. Love it.

Just an FYI that there was a major rockfall event on the South Arete of SEWS on 6/4, leaving unstable blocks in the upper "chimney" pitch above the chockstone section.

Tell us more.  Human caused?  Observed?

Holy shit, my wife had a mountaineers climb for the same route, same day, that was cancelled.
