Any word on the Sherburne? Since I don't have any of the gear to tackle the headwall I was hopping to boot it up to Lunch Rocks and take in the whole scene. It would kinda suck to not ski anything.

There will be well established boot packs heading up all the major routes. Ice axe/crampons aren't a bad idea, but the vast majority of folks there won't have them. Worst case scenario is you ski some lower angle stuff in the bowl (and hopefully sherbie on the way out as wellAny word on the Sherburne?

Couple questions about the Sherburne. Keep checking the Avalanche Advisory (http://www.tuckerman.org/avalanche/index.html) and Time For Tuckerman (http://timefortuckerman.com/forums) for the latest updates. Currently open top to bottom with some bare spots per the advisory. Partial closure of the bottom section could be a factor by next weekend. What type of gear would you need to tackle the headwall? You can always climb up Right Gully if you feel climbing up the steeper aspects is unsafe without additional hardware.
Roark, when are you coming up? We'll need to connect for some adventure up there. Looking at GoS sometime before May if you are interested.

Left Gully is pretty cool too, not to difficult to hike up.
Weather being what it is, yeah, good idea to keep an eye on avalanche reports and lookout for falling ice.

Would I be correct in assuming there are some ski shops in the area that may have some used gear for sale/rental?

Last call. Leaving after work today, plan on being up there by 6-6:30 tomorrow. Here's a carrot from timefortuckerman.com. The pic is from yesterday:

Have fun with those runnels, lol. I would recommend Hillman's. If you did not ski it last year, it is one of my absolute favorite runs and T4T condition reports suggest is not suffering from runnels. I'll be opting for GoS Saturday with an 8am start time so we will not connect. Have fun!!

Could consider GoS, I'm feeling adventurous.

Thanks, but with carrying 85 lbs up to the leanto, my energy was a bit tapped. Just stuck to the nice sweet corn and bumps on Hillman's

I'm getting dissapointed here now. It's 2 full days since the world famous "2 day tuckerman ravine trip" has been done and we don't have any official "2 day Tuckerman Ravine Trip Debriefing" thread! I atleast would have expected 2 or 3 fully dedicated threads with 4 to 6 pages of posts by now!

Still just 1 thread (maybe 2 if you count the online returns/guarentees thread), just such a "whimper" afterwards compared to the build-up!
