[pct-l] Current Conditions Oregon D,E,F,G?

[David Harp]

I will be starting a nobo hike from Santiam Pass in central Oregon on August 7.  I too would like to get a read on what the snow conditions might be like as I move north to Canada.  It could be that I will use different shoe wear and carry instep crampons and and ice axe if I think the early morning firm snow condition presents a danger.  I have done a lot of High Sierra off-trail exploring and the most risky moves are on exposed steep north slope snow crossings.  Maybe the occasional patches of snow will not merit such precautions (I hope).  Anyone have a prediciton on the north cascades melt off?

Good morning, Lost and Found,

If things go according to plan I’ll be passing by Lava Camp on my way NoBo
roughly in the last half of August, and I’ll look forward to meeting you.

Thank you in advance.
