LMo Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I am going to be climbing mid September. What kind of conditions can I expect above Muir? Went up DC late June...just wondering what to look for. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braydon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) you probably already know this but you'll definatly have some problems navigating the crevasses... Edited August 4, 2008 by Braydon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I took an inexperienced climber up the DC route in a September back a few years ago. I recall a lot of crevasse negotiating problems from Muir going across the Cowlitz. It made a relatively easy route exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braydon Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 wow, especially at 1am, route finding across the cowlitz would be an adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was there last night, and the bootpack on the Cowlitz ran a few feet away from some large crevasses and crossed several smaller one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
