Ascent Trip ReportMountaineers group of 8. Two rope teams of 4. Very moderate pace.
Car to Camp Schurman: 7:36 Camp to summit: 8:52 Summit time: 0:50 Summit to camp: 5:45 Camp to car: 4:16
On the approach to Camp Schurman we scrambled over the top of Steamboat Prow rather than decending to the Emmons glacier. This negated the need to rope up at all on the approach to camp. On the summit, we left camp at midnight and followed the main boot pack until about 12,500 feet. Then we did our own route finding going almost directly to the summit. We crossed a few snow bridges that probably will be gone in 1-3 weeks' time. |
