There weren’t any at the time we were there. Snow pack was still pretty heavy. But I’ve heard some have started to open now, and towards the end of summer they can be dangerous
@@marriedmountaineers Great video! Yes, we passed crevasses in mid August of the same year (2022). The route was still in relatively good shape. I've only climbed it in August and September. We might need to go in July next year just to avoid the scree areas mid route.
@@peytonclark2476 Hi Peyton, good question. We did this in 3 days total. The first day we hiked up past White Pass and camped just below the high camp on an outcropping of rocks that was melted out. We summited on day 2 and originally planned to stay at our same campsite. However, a storm rolled in that evening and we were forced to move camps back closer to White Pass bc we were so exposed at our original campsite. Day 3 we packed up and hiked all the way out. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching! I honestly don’t remember. I know we started being pretty conservative with it when we got to camp and realized we would have to melt snow for a water source. I think we took 1 large 16oz canister that was maybe 3/4 full and it was fine. High camp has a nice water source though. So we were able to fill up there on the way up and back down.
Very nicely filmed and edited❤ I’m considering climbing it solo but did you feel like you needed to rope up? I’ve summited Rainier 3 times, in addition to Baker, Hood, Adams etc so I’m used to glacier travel and I didn’t see anything too unnerving for solo travel in yours as well as other videos.
Thank you so much! Honestly, I think it’s dependent on what time of year you climb it (as with most of our mountains here in PNW haha). With the heavy snow pack last year, we didn’t see any open crevasses at all crossing the glacier. There were a handful of people not roped up when we were out there. It sounds like you have good experience to make the right decision! Best of luck you you!
Yes, early in the season it could be done solo if you have that experience. A couple of the climbers were solo out there when we we there. Thanks for watching!
@@johnjames9359 everything just depends on the snow pack. We went over July 4 last year and it was closer to previous June seasons. Checking sites like Peakbaggers will probably get you the most recent conditions come then. Best of luck to you
Nice other than the shoot me in the head music cool video
You two are amazing! Love your videos.
Thank you!
You guys are awesome!! 🙌🏼 can’t wait to see where the Washington summer takes you next!
Thank you! We’re looking forward to it too!
Someone taking their dog for a leisurely stroll @7:38 😁
😂😂
That dogs awesome. Did the dog summit?!
Yeah the dog summited!
Are there crevasse dangers on that route? Similar to baker or rainier?

@@ebell7984 thank you so much! We can imagine how tough that scree would be. July really did offer some great climbing conditions
what was your itinerary/where did you camp each night?

Cool video. And I can feel the pain from 3 days in boots :)
Do you remember how much fuel did you burn in those 3 days?

What trailhead did you start from ? Amazing views
North Fork Sauk River Trailhead
Could this be done solo? Looks like crevasse exposure was low

@@marriedmountaineers I was thinking about going late may-early June

Never climbed before. But ive been bodybuilding for years. Can I do this route solo? Or should I pay a tour guide?
I would recommend a guide if you have no experience with glacier travel.
What route did you climb up?
We took the Cool Glacier Route. Made it up to White Pass and eventually to Suiattle Glacier for the push over to Cool Glacier and up to the summit.
