ryland_moore Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Anyone done the Emmons route in August? I've been on the route plenty of times but only in April, May, and June. Is the glacier typically a dry glacier? Tough crevasse negotiating? Icy? Or is it better to do the DC this time of year? WHat's Interglacier like? Every time I've been on it there were no crevasses visible. Thanks for any general info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Gauthier Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Ryland If things keep going this way, the Emmons won’t be nearly as dry this August as in years past. I've always enjoyed late season ascents of this route. Even when it gets icy, the route is interesting b/c of all the cool crevasse and ice formations. Some of my most memorable trips have been in late Aug and Sept. Very few people are up there too... Though it does get cold early, as the sun sets behind Curtis ridge.
