Re: 2021 Snow Level
I did Silver Star from Grouse Saturday. Didn't start early enough and the snow was already getting soft from the sun around noon. The ridge above the drainage was a little treacherous. Slipping, postholing, just a bunch of mush. More work than it was worth. Even with spikes. Turned back before hitti...

Re: Mt Hood, timberline, west and north: biting flies
I did McNeil from Top Spur today.
No flies on the way up early. It was chilly.

Coldwater Peak from the South Trailhead.
14 miles. 3,500 feet EG.
Unbelievable scenery.
Still my favorite.

Re: St Helens: west crater rim
I asked because this "route" intrigues me. I never thought of trying to summit from anywhere but MR or WF.

Re: St Helens: Crescent Ridge above Loowit Trail
I though I saw footprints on snow today.
