sdizzle25 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Anybody know if there is actually ice on the kautz yet or is it still all snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansahls Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I climbed the Kautz on July 23-24th and there was no ice in the chute. There was, and probably still is a massive amount of snow in that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaleHoopes Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Just completed a guided climb on the Kautz with a summit on last Thursday. Good climb. There's about a 10-15 ft section of maybe 25-35 degree ice. Definitely walkable. Exposure but nothing else. You probably should rappel off the notch. Not a very good route right under the ice cliff. Very straightforward snow on thursday. Went really early from a camp just below the notch (left at 12:25).

bellows Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 A second tool was nice for the little ice showing through on the first pitch but probably wasn't worth the weight of carrying it up there. 1,000 words from this weekend: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
