July 30th DC Update

The mountain's shadow confirming why it's called "Little" Tahoma

The DC route has not changed substantially since our last DC update -- please refer to the post from 7/20 for an in-depth update and also be sure to check out our Route Brief for all the fine details regarding this route. Warmer temps are in the forecast and have associated challenges such as weakened snow bridges and increased rock and ice fall. Be critical of snow bridges and move quickly through areas exposed to overhead hazard. High freezing levels will undoubtedly alter the route in the near future. Guide services will continue to work to keep the route viable, but come prepared to problem solve if a snow bridge falls through during your climb.  Enjoy the last bits of July up high!
