The road is open to the Eldorado TH and should open another mile to the last gate hopefully soon. Even in these high snowline conditions, you either need 4 days to do the climb (2 for the approach), or 3 if you have your beta really dialed (which we now have after this trip). It would also be helpful to have a party size larger than 2 to get through the trail blazing more efficiently. And this is where you could come in - we are looking for another party of 2 to go back with us to get this climb. If you are interested, send me some email. You should have experience leading rock and alpine ice routes and&nbsp;ideally&nbsp;a little mixed climbing.
