whodgman Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Anyone have any current beta on the upper Emmons/Rainier, cracks/schrund/glacier condition? Planning private climb in mid-Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Gauthier Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 the emmons/winthrop glacier above camp schurman is in great climbing shape. if anything, it's better now than it was 2 weeks ago, i just climbed the route yesterday. last week's snowfall filled in a lot of holes, making some of the dicey crevasse crossings easier. there are some exciting crevasse crossings along the way, but nothing too alarming. and the bergschrund is straight forward too. i’d say, go for it… it’s totally doable. consider the route somewhat obliterated though, we had to kick the route in to the summit (1-2 feet of freshie….) since no one had climbed it in a week. to my knowledge, no one has attempted it since we came down. more than likely, our boot track will be somewhat filled in, but followable. good luck gauthier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
