  • Intermediate Ice Climb
  • Challenging
  • Elevation Gain: 9,000 ft
  • Pace: Fast

Planning to climb Saturday-Sunday, but may need to switch to Friday-Saturday depending on the weather. All details to be discussed via email.

Conditional on getting the permit, weather, etc. Planning this as a 2-day climb. Day #1 climb to the 11K camp. Day #2 carry over the summit and descend the DC route down to the cars. Must have graduated from Alpine Ice or equivalent. This is a good first ice climb, but note we will be traveling with overnight gear the entire way and moving relatively quickly, with a long second day. Must be in good shape.
