snowleopard_x Posted May 31, 2001 Share Posted May 31, 2001 13 - I got a good look at it last weekend when trying to get up the Wilson Headwall (we didn't even make it, btw). According to the Rangers, it has been the most successfully ascended route in the Kautz Alpine Zone this year. Here is a cut and past from my other thread: The Fuhrer Finger looked good, but we saw two teams that tried it, and both said when the sun hits it on the top, it turned to bad slush, even at 13,000'. There are some precarious looking snow bridges crossing the Wilson Glacier to get to it though. The 'schrund under the Fuhrer's Thumb is open now, which scares most people away. Best of luck to you.
