chrisr Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 didn't do it, we woke up to about 100 foot visibility at paradise and a trip report from 2 days earlier (logged with the NPS) said both the fan and glacier approach were impassible.

Arc Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 They are not impassable................................................................. this is mountaineering dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coug4 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Don’t discount the Van Trump Park approach; certainly the more scenic route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisr Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I would agree with you Arc, we thought that was weird to write on a trip report, but that's what it said. For us it was more of the fact that there was no visibility and we didn't want to go up the fan not being able to see rockfall. We're not as hardcore as some I admit.

l0930 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Kautz was warm and misserable this weekend. A couple inches of frozen with knee deep powder below, a real pain in the ass combined with all the crevass navigation. Route was fine up to above the ice falls and if it was colder and firm would have been fine up high too. I'd be up to go again Arc, PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
