Elbert snow conditions
Has any climbed Elbert in the last few days and seen the snow conditions on the Box Couloirs? Is there enough snow to climb?

Re: Elbert snow conditions
I was up there last week. Elbert has enough snow to climb box creek. Massive has quite a bit of snow on it as well.

Re: Elbert snow conditions
Climbed the box couloirs on 6\8 and the snow was in great shape all the way up. There was continuous snow all the way up to the summit. However, make sure you get on route early as they will soften quickly when the sun hits them.
Good judgement comes from experience......experience comes from bad judgement
