When are you going up? I have a trip for 6/29 and I'm getting somewhat concerned about conditions. My group has some rock climbing experience ie: setting up belays and climbing anchors, but not rappels. We were planning on bringing a 30m rope and roping up (simulclimbing) using natural and artificial protection as needed. But also hopeful to just be able to down climb with no gear.
This will be our first time doing the MR, but we have climbed Mt Williamson and Middle Palisade. Both of those climbs were done later in the season (late August).
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated...
