You might have been a bit hasty in your retreat, we took a casual start and brought steel crampons for the water ice so it was all good fun. We turned around at the top of Heliotrope around 1pm and found the snow to be a lot more fun than we were expecting based on the reflection of the sun and the sounds of the skiers ahead of us. Score 1 for sleeping in!

You mean to tell me all I had to do was sleep a few more hours and bring crampons and my day would have been COMPLETELY different?!? DAMMIT! ;-)
Oh well, at least it was an ADVENTURE!
This TR has me wondering one thing, what would Brian Boitano do?

Love your TR's Kristina!!! what a wonderful icy playground we have all over the Cascades right now...decent snow to be found with rewards of moderate to steep ice climbing.
