Mount Rose — Thursday, May. 4, 2023

Go right at Horse camp. I went left. Snow started around 3230 feet. I encountered the collapsing snowbridge around 3620. There may be some other way around it further down, but I didn't check it out. I ended up pulling out my ice axe and climbing out of the drainage onto the upper slopes to avoid the snowbridge altogether, but the route I followed had some steep soft snow intermixed with mossy cliffs and I didn't want to downclimb that. I ended up traversing over to the other side of the loop (the right side coming from Horse Camp) and descended down that. Both of the stream crossings on thatv side are at lower elevations and therefore clear of snow.
