Trip

Basic Glacier Climb - Clark Mountain & Luahna Peak

Strenuous but rewarding 2-3 day climb of Clark Mt. and/or Luahna Peak.

  • Sat, Jul 1, 2023 — Mon, Jul 3, 2023
  • Tacoma Basic Alpine Climbing

  • Basic Alpine
  • Adults
  • Basic Glacier Climb, Strenuous 4, Technical 2
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 22.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 6,300 ft

TBD.

This is a strenuous climb with spectacular alpine views. Depending on the conditions and group feel, we will climb either Clark Mt., Luahna Peak, or (if we're feeling spicy) both in 1 day.

Again, this is a strenuous hike: great conditioning is a MUST, and you MUST have hiked or climbed with me PRIOR to this trip. I will be running 2-3 conditioners up Mailbox Peak in April/May/June for climbers who have not been on a climb with me.

Preference to Tacoma BAC students  until June 1st.
