Has anyone been up to Challenger recently?

 

I'm wondering about the condition of the Challenger glacier - if it's still passable given the hot weather. We're planning on going there in a couple of weeks.

 

Thanks

Was on Fury last week, the SE glacier was very passable, expect that Challenger would be similar. The glaciers in Luna Cirque, at the base of the N-Butt were also passable, except for accessing the entry couloirs: there be moat monsters.

 

Good luck, hope the weather holds

Was planning on doing a Challenger / Luna (via Big Beaver / Perfect Pass) trip during the last week of August. The book says that its season goes to October. Does it become impassable later in the year? Is there water at perfect pass?

Impassable is somebody's word for "I couldn't do it" You'd probably have to navigate around crevasses more, but I'm sure you could do it just fine.
