The Lower Mountain Transitions

In the Muir Corridor some more significant snowfall and wind have kept things interesting on the upper mountain. On the lower mountain, the route is about to transition from the direct ascent of Panorama Face to the summer trail, which ascends the switchback to the climber's left of the face.

On the Kautz, our first team of the season successfully ascended the lower part of the route and will be assessing conditions for a summit bid. Stay tuned for updates on the Kautz.

Finally, we are looking forward to getting back on the Emmons Glacier. Our first climb heads out on Memorial Day! Once they report back, we'll update conditions on the route.
