With diminishing climber numbers and evidence of older iterations of the route clearly visible in many places, there is no one clear route up the Emmons Winthrop at this time. Consider taking a tracklog as you ascend. In some places, older boot packs lead directly to the edges of now widely gaping crevasses. Use caution and evaluate crevasse crossings you decide to take, and take alternate routes if crossings are no longer safely viable.

| Crossings above the corridor continue to erode |
There is a series of crevasse crossings above the corridor which have continued to melt out. Consider implementing further protection where necessary while making these crossings.
There are still no crevasses visible on the inter glacier, although the snow has continued to melt with warmer temps. It's that time of year for them to become more of an issue, however, so keep an eye out for crevasse hazards - especially while descending.
