For the summer we open at 8AM Saturdays, so you can grab what you need, head for the crag and be topping out your first pitch while other people are still standing around on Broadway waiting for MEC to open We open at 9AM every other day of the week. Close at 6PM every day except 5PM on Sundays.
There's an MEC at the top of the Apron now???????????
" . . . We established base salon here, and climbed quite steadily up to Mario's here. From here using crampons and cutting ice steps as we went, we moved steadily up the Lhotse Face to the North Ridge, establishing Camp Three where we could get a hot meal, a manicure, and a shampoo and set."
