Thanks wb
I won't be on the South Sisters trail. I will approach from the north east on the Green lakes trail then head cross country alone to the base of Carver glacier to check out Carver Lake which they say could land on my home if the moraine crumbles. I might hike in La Sportiva Makalu boots and carry the 12 points and a Grivel Airtech axe.
Thanks again, I'm glad somebody still goes prepared besides me.
