Crowds on Prusik Peak?

[JoshK]

I'm thinking of climbing Prusik peak this weekend. Being a popular peak, I'm afraid even with the permits the route might be a clusterf*ck. I've been in the area many times, but always off-season. Am I better off going elsewhere?

 

thanks,

just go in tennys and do the route in one day if you want to do it in two go for it but do it midweek just stay off trail when you are bivying and you aren't going to get caught. Midweek= no crowds

I did the west ridge this past sunday. We were back to our packs by 10am and didn't encounter any other parties. When we got to our camp we did see two climbers about half way up the south face.

 

The bugs are bad, but if you get away from the lakes and trees, they are not so bad.
