My friend Ted and I climbed the Kautz as well. We saw you guys on Sat on the turtle (We were on the rock ridge to the west). We left Sun at 1 am and got to the top at 9am. Breaking trail was pretty tough, wish you guys had been able to follow our trail, would have been much easier. We carried over and came down the Emmons and must be the group Scott was referring to.
Excellent climb and nice job on the trip report.
