Completed Kautz 8/13/04 and both pitches in the chute were ice covered. Fixie is right-on with the description of good sites at the top of the Turtle, as well as rappel below Camp Hazard. Route descriptions of this segment seem to change dramatically from July to August, so prepare for ice. We started at Comet Falls instead of crossing over from Paradise (the scenery makes up for elevation loss). We used screws, fixed lines, and pickets. There were no crevasse hazards 'til you start to see the summit. BTW- Coming down the Kautz is a bitch.
