⚠ Climbing above 4,800′ requires a permit Apr 1–Oct 31 ($15, capped at 100/day). Reserve at purchasepass.com — they sell out for weekends weeks in advance.
🏖️ Climbers Bivouac SNOTEL at 0" depth — route is likely melted out at the trailhead. The score still describes the freeze/thaw cycle aloft, but expect a long carry (or no snow at all).
🧠 Decision support, not a verdict. This score is a model — verify it against NWAC, the UW forecast, and your own read of the conditions before you commit to a tour. How it works →
