jverschuyl Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I climbed Eldorado at the end of August 2004 (a very dry year) and it was quite straight forward. We stayed on the rock at the edge of the cliff overlooking the flat area of glacier, and came at the much reduced snow arete from the west. I would suggest the glacier would likely be A-OK for just about any season on that peak. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I talked with someone who sumitted about two weeks ago and they said it was passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogboy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I was up there two weeks ago. Lots of people were summiting the east ridge. We were trying the NE face and were turned around by a large crevass and incomimg weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
