Pencil_Pusher Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I was just up there last night. Bring quarters for the shower machine up top. I left the faucet running so the pipes wouldn't freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 You may still encounter running ice on the approach. The Pocket Glacier has half-slid as of 08/12. Still ice against the base of the wall and the east side of the cirque where you cross the notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climzalot Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Can you get by in approach shoes without crampons or axe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Dunno I was looking over from rexford. looks like you might need crmpns or something if crossing Notch - or approach direct start but lots of icefall danger it seems to be getting done a lot though so I'm sure you can get through somehow.
