Rad, sorry for the unclear message. I had meant to ask if anybody is planning on going on that route at that time and if so, I'd know who to say hi on the trail. We were up at the Inter Glacier last weekend, just scoping out the route. Our plan is to take it nice and slow (4 days): 1st day - Go to Glacier Basin Camp 2nd day - Schurman 3rd day - Leave at around 11pm-midnight 4th day - Summit in the am, come back to Schurman, rest, then descend. Ivan, I'm brand new here on this board, and since this type of communication tends to filter out most detectable sarcasm, wit, dry humor, I usually take comments at face value first, and ask for clarification. About our team: we are mainly rock climbers (sport and trad) and experienced in backcountry hiking and have the gear required. We learned how to do crevasse rescue recently. We are also in great shape, myself doing quite a bit of biking/running, and climbing regularly. As far as glacier travelling experience, we have little, but have been told the the Emmons route at this time of year is the "safest" because the crevasses have yet to open much. (I know, "safe" is a relative word). Nikki

Can you elaborate on the "death" part?

Hello, we are a party of 3 heading up the Emmons route starting Sunday June 11 (weather permitting, of course). Just wondering if anybody here is going as well. Thanks! Nikki
