Disappointment Cleaver Update 7/27

This blog is maintained by the Climbing Ranger team for use by recreational non-guided climbers. Use these reports as a baseline, but plan for changing conditions.

July 27, 2024

In the last 24 hours the guided route above the Disappointment Cleaver was taken out by major Ice fall on the Ingraham Glacier. Due to the severe overhead hazard of house sized serac blocks the guides are no longer traversing from the top of the Cleaver toward Camp Comfort. 

Large Icefall on the Upper Ingraham which took out the Guided route above the Cleaver.

There is currently no guide established route. Guides are working hard at this time to establish a new route.
