Hey natalie, Yea, we could do Sunday, that would make 3 of us so far.
Weather and conditions are better on Saturday, so I was looking more at tomorrow, but
Sunday works too. Lets PM.

dbaker,
sorry, didn't see your post. What's a good day for you?
I can do either Sat or Sun. Prefer Saturday for weather.
Looks like 2 are in for Sunday, I'm flexible but would like Sat.

I am in. Would like to carpool from Denver, if possible.

Sunday would work better I think for me, but weather does look better for Saturday.trailsntales wrote:dbaker,

Can't commit just yet either, sorry.
However, which route are you looking at?
And what time were you thinking of leaving?
Are you from the Springs? If I can go, I would like to carpool.
I'll check back in later today (by 4ish) to see the latest.

I climbed/skied the SW couloir last Saturday (4/9) and the snow in the couloir was bulletproof. I would highly recommend crampons, as kicking steps was quite difficult. Have a good climb.

Darin,
Yes, from the springs and we can carpool. I think 4:00-4:30 start; warming temps too.
And if its sunday, early is better for weather. SW coulior is the plan. I'm on snowshoes, will glissade at least part of coulior.
CObuckeye--thanks for the beta. Will microspikes work and snow shoes?
