    Good luck with finding a bunch of willing and able randoms. Later in the season is better for skiing btw.

    Thanks Aaron, I have one solid partner, just lookin for some others in case of the BAIL or injury. I looked over a lot of posts and TRs, I'll expand my dates into June...I hope to do some lower elevation skiing around the range.

    No worries. In a typical season you'll have higher crevasses hazard and worse weather later (late june/July) but more snow above 14 for some of the bigger lines such as the Orient and Messner (and it'll be warmer). That said everything is a trade off and it's a big ol mountain and anything can happen at anytime.

    Im not an expert by any means but I have been up there a few times. Drop me a PM if you have any more questions. Suerte.

    Was already planning on it, but my partner dropped. Was thinking June, though. Like early/mid June. Also, had eyes set on Foraker+Hunter.
