Thanks for the intel! Couple follow up questions: Would camping at Iceberg Lake also work for accessing Mt Russell? We brought crampons and ice axes for Middle Palisade, planning on doing the same (as you advised) for this trip. We were also considering some climbing gear (30m rope, wired stoppers, quick-draws) in case we need to belay for the summit block of Mt Muir, and/or for roping-up for the knife's edge on Mt Russell. We don't want to haul up a bunch of gear we don't need, but we also want to be prepared to travel safely should the situation call for it. Would love your feedback on this as well... thx again!
