slamole Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I heading up to Boston Basin tomorrow and wondering if anyone has seen the couloir to the west ridge on Forbidden lately. I'm figuring its totally melted out. If so, how's the variation gully to the west of the coulior? Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Goatboy reported a month ago that a gap was opening up so I'd assume you'd have to climb the rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 2nd hand, month-old beta. That's good stuff. I was up in BB last weekend and have a picture of the coulior at home. I'll try to remember to post it this evening. I don't think whatever obstacles were there were stopping people from getting to the ridge if that is any consolation. One note: If you are up there on a hot day, you may have difficulties trying to cross the creek right below the lower campsites. I had to spend an extra night up there due to high water levels.

Alpine_Tom Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 We got a not-great view of it from our Mixup climb last weekend. Here's the best photo I could find from what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I climbed the west ridge last Thursday. There is a break in the snow that requires you to move onto the rock to the climber's left. I imagine it's still easy to get by. Break is visible in the above photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
