Mount Helen tower 1 gully conditions?

Has anyone seen how the tower 1 gully looks?

I was up there 2 days ago. That climb hasn't been "in" in a decade but there is 3-4 pitches of decent ice running up the right side. Take rock gear and be prepared for some rockfall. Cheers

Sad - I was hoping it would go this season, maybe not work the hike then.

It's always worth the hike, titcomb basin is one of the most beautiful places in the winds. Plenty of summer ice on the backside of the divide just over Indian pass, namely the couloirs on Jackson. Plus the rock in titcomb is worth the hike itself.

Like I said, there's a few pitches of thin ice protectable with rock gear in the walls on either side. The snow is well consolidated and takes pons and tools well. It's a true alpine adventure even in the summer months. Cheers

Davis is right. There is not much up there. I was there a week ago, and there are some thin lines of consolidated snow. You can make use of the 'pons if you want, but rock gear is probably a more enjoyable choice.

Thanks for all the advice gentlemen! I am in casper, wy and I'm lacking alpine partners so if anyone is in need of a partner this winter feel free to hit me up!
