Beta on Fuhrer Finger

[KaskadskyjKozak]

Has anyone been up there or on the upper mountain recently (especially how the snowpack/consolidation looks higher up)? I'm wondering what conditions are like, and if I should make a go at the next good weather window (with a reasonable avy forecast) or not.

I have been. Very little beta and very few ascents this year.

 

I'm hoping the conditions and weather turn around soon ... or maybe the blog is just out of date a bit.

Trip up to Muir last weekend without snowshoes was interesting coming back down along with a few others up to my knees the last 3000 ft,

A Ranger said, she knows of only one group to make the summit recently on the Gib Ledges route, she said they skied up and down,she seemed to be dissuading me from trying as she pointed out these were professional level skiers, she also said one group tried the DC route without success, on my way down I talked with a very ambitious group who was determined however no one in the group had made the summit before during winter conditions.
