chrisc88 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Fellow climbers! Has anybody recently got on the Kautz route on Rainier? I climbed the Fuhrer Finger a couple weeks ago, and on our way up, there were plenty of folks who were shooting for the Kautz coming down because they heard that it was no good. I also heard from several IMG guides that it was no good. Unfortunately, none of these people had actually seen the would-be uncrossable obstacle in person. I did give the rangers a phone call asking about conditions, and they said that things were normal up there though. I'm yet to see a trip report here or a route tick on Mountain Project, so I am not quite sure what to believe.. Any good info would be much appreciated! I'm hoping to go up there this upcoming weekend. Edited June 17, 2018 by chrisc88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lauder Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I've got a track from our climb of the Kautz yesterday. Not sure if you were up there. We did see a party of 3 below us when we were up above the ice steps. Kautz-6-24-2018.gpx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
