Thanks for the info folks! Timcb, I also thought it was quite a coincedence we're looking at the same route, but then I noticed from your profile we have the same birthday. All makes sense now. Thanks for the account.
Has anyone climbed/enjoyed the 1968 route Becky mentions on the east side of Challenger? Some buddies and I have plans to be in the Perfect Pass area for a few days early this August. We’d like to traverse the Challenger glacier to get to this route. Does anyone know how open the glacier is likely to be by then? Is the glacier generally passable that late in the season? Thanks!
