CascadeClimber Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The route, as posted on the blog, goes right from Schurman and ascends the Winthrop entirely. The section from about 9700 (it descends some from Schurman) to 11,000 has some challenging crevasse crossings, exposed traverses, exposed blue ice, and is changing rapidly. Yesterday's (Aug 17) post on the blog about the crevasse 'plug' being passable is inaccurate. A walkable reroute is in place as of late yesterday morning. In short, this route is more serious than usual, at least though that section. Expect to do some routefinding and more exposure than when it goes up the Corridor.
