A couple more questions to pile on:
What are the water crossings like? (we are headed up 7/11/20, but for general knowledge) I see some reports mention putting on water shoes, some saying they can be thigh/waist deep, and some don't even mention them at all. I don't mind taking boots off, but would water shoes be a good idea? Or will having poles and rock/log hopping ability going to keep me mostly dry?
If conditions are dry, my assesment is the walkoff traverse looks like it would be no problem, and easier than the downclimb. Is that fair?
Any condition updates on MR after the earthquake?
