I'm heading out to climb the Kautz later this week. Anyone been on the route lately? The climbing blog hasn't been updated since 6/2 and there hasn't been too much activity on Cascade Climbers lately. Two questions:
1. Is flotation still necessary? (I doubt it, but I know it's been snowy. I really don't want to have to pack the snowshoes.)
2. Is there running water at either camp? (Again, I doubt it, but it would be nice to know if there is. We're planning on camping in the two standard spots.)
Thanks.
