Conditions on the DC route

Hey I know the route has been changed from the normal DC route to traversing over to camp comfort and then on up. I may be heading up here in a couple weeks, just wanting to see if anyone has been up there and know what the conditions are like beyond muir.

Thanks everyone

I went up the DC route on Saturday Night. The route is cruiser above the cleaver, no big holes, no ladders, and pretty much a straight shot from camp comfort to the crater rim. The cleaver is starting to melt out, although it was mostly snow on Saturday I could imagine a few more weeks with these temps and the majority of it could be rock.

 

I would also not be surprised to see the route flipped from Camp Comfort, back towards the Emmons after the cleaver soon. The snow slopes used to attain Camp Comfort contained some big holes above and below the route, as those melt out and move around it could change a lot.

 

Have fun.
