Report

I can find no online documentation on the FKT for this mountain of any kind so am submitting this application for a mixed gender FKT on the mountain. We carried all our gear from start to finish so am logging it as "unsupported" per the definition on the FKT website. In addition, while a rope was carried, it was not used, so this route falls within the FKT guidelines.

With nearly perfect conditions we were able to make good time on the approach to the glacier. Given spring conditions, the Fryingpan and Whitman Glaciers were in fantastic shape and we were able to travel on snow until the final 150 vertical feet to the scrambling section. We made the summit in approximately eight hours. The descent went quickly.
