Emmons-Winthrop, 8/26/2011

The Emmons route is still in fine shape! At the top of the corridor the route traverses to the right and then follows a relatively direct path to the summit.

With the past few week's warm weather, crevasses have been opening and widening on the Inter Glacier and on the traverse from Camp Curtis to Camp Schurman. So take note of these hazards on the approach and be aware of them while descending.

All in all, the approach to Schurman and the route on the upper mountain remain in good shape and many parties had successful summit trips over the past week.
