Snow Creek on 3/26/17: Snow is down to the chockstone and gets progressively more solid higher up, turning to blue ice for the last 500-800 ft. Ice tools are highly recommended for current conditions. Overall an amazing route.
Difficulty: IV, class 4 (with 5.5 variation)
Stats: ~16 miles 11,500 ft gain

Gus Safar added 30 new photos to album: Snow Creek.

Wow the conditions look pretty perfect. I'm thinking about Snow Creek this weekend with a friend. Any chance you'd be willing to export your strava as a gpx and post it / send it to me?
