Disappointment Cleaver Update 9/10

The Disappointment Cleaver route has been reestablished with a reroute to the Emmons Shoulder. The route currently has two ladders. One is just above Ingraham Flats and horizontal. The other is at around 12,700' and vertical. All route adjuncts have been changing quickly due to high freezing levels. Assess ladders, hand-lines and any other route adjunct on a use-by-use basis - don't use it if it's not safe! The last major feature on the route is a crevasse at 13,900' that can be crossed via a fin of snow.  

GPS track from 9/8

The summer season is winding down, but the guide services continue to climb and maintain the DC route.  This means there's less people on the route - so you'll have a bit more solitude up on your climb and don't have to worry about bottle-necks, but the route definitely isn't as direct and contains more challenges than earlier in the season.  Make sure to bring your A-Game and see you on the Mountain!
