mnm Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Does anyone have info on the route to Cruiser? either the S or S SW corner- thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Was up there on an attempt July 4 weekend. Don't forget the crampons like we did - the approach chute is northwest-facing and solid hard ice. Consider taking a couple ice screws for pro as pickets would be nearly impossible to sink. Beautiful looking summit (from the bottom of the chute) in an awesome location. Also, the book calls for two ropes - not sure if you absolutely need. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I was just there,but didnt do the s route. I didnt see any snow there and it only reqs 1 60 mtr rope to get down. I think they added a sweet rap station to get down on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Here's a picture I took on a one day climb a couple years ago... looking down the standard route from the summit at my brother. Other than the first couple of moves starting up from the ledge, which are very exposed, it is mostly 3rd/4th. If you down climb to a platform just below the top, I think one rope will work for the rappel, but we used two so I can't say for sure.
