TandF Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Has any one done sitkum glacier in the last couple of weeks? Is it possible to do that route with out a rope safely? Are there any tech parts to the route? My first time up. That route seems like it is the best way with out pro. Quote
jbclimber Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 I was up there 2 weekends ago. The route is in good shape. However, I would recommend that you rope up. One of my partners fell waist deep into a (not visible) crevasse on the lower Sitkum glacier! Quote
Paul_K Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 We did it this weekend. We roped up for the ascent, but descended un-roped. We didn't see any open crevasses near the climbing route. I would have been comfortable doing it un-roped. This was my first time up there, and I was surprised at how steep the last bit to the summit was. Quote
