Spent the last couple nights at the Hermit campground and climbed Mt Rogers, Grant and Fleming Peaks yesterday with a 79 year old guest....I hope I am still climbing that well when I reach his age.
Excellent conditions for cramponing up the Swiss Glacier to the Rogers-Grant col in the morning. Bergschrunds are becoming visible but easily passed on snow. Crampons were also used on some ice on the North side of the the start to Swiss Peaks traverse. Dry rock on Grant and Fleming Peaks and good steps without crampons back down from the Rogers-Grant col mid afternoon.
The Swiss-Truda col also looked in decent shape with a bit of ice showing down low then snow to the top. Tupper is dry and in good shape.
Lots of smoke in the air this morning which might affect overnight freezes in the days to come.
