Excellent trip with great people!
One day circuit of ascending the Quien Sabe and descending the Sahale glaciers.
Successful late season climb of Baker.
This trip was a leisurely 11 nm paddle with pleasant, warm weather and light and variable winds. Great kayak conditions, especially for this one-way itinerary.
good instruction before and during the sail. also nice to see the computer trip marked on screen after the sail by the Rose program
The ramp is not quite ready to support solid ice screw placements. We had bomber picket anchors and questionable ice screw placements between.
Jan was the primary leader and Manisha was the mentored leader for this climb. The team successfully summited on Saturday 8/20 and came all the way back to the cars.
Beautiful and cooler visit to Mount Stone via Lake of the Angels on 8/21/16 of ~10 miles and ~5300' gain.
Three day climb of Mount Cruiser, Private Trip 4 Mounties/1 Non, August 20 Summit
Six climbers summited. Hot day.
8 climbers departed parking lot at 0600. Summited without incident. Back to cars about 2000. There is no water in the upper basin we recommend carrying water to upper basin and cashing. We cashed 2 gallons for the eight of us and needed every drop. There iis a new stuck X4 on the direct route last pitch.
Great location, both campground and the climb. Getting to the base of climb is more than half the battle for this approach.
On a very warm 8/20/16, 6 of us did the tremendously scenic scramble of Mt. Ann.
9 hours car to car. Watch out for the bees around 5500 feet.
Led this hike August 20, 2016. Hiked in from Barlow Pass, first to Monte Cristo, old ghost town; then on to Glacier Basin. First part easy, second part strenuous.
Well organized trip. The route and logistics was well prepared. The organizer show care and professionalism to all participants. Her enthusiastic was awesome! Her skills and knowledge was super!
Very hot and dry approach. Water available in a few spots up to Cutthroat pass. Dry all the way to Upper Snowy Lake where we camped. 4 hrs to lake. Golden Horn has a very simple approach. From Lake, aim for the low notch in the ridge and find a climbers path that follows the ridge line more or less all the way to the notch to the left of the summit tower. Traverse north on the west side to a gully. There are two, take the left one 200ft to the summit block. Mostly class 3 kitty litter. From the base of the summit block, travers up and right 20ft to a wide ledge. Lead up aiming for a fixed sling, and gain the big ledge below the summit mantle move. Final move takes a few thoughts to figure out. There is a rap anchor behind the summit boulder. a 1.0 and .5 C4 is all that is needed. 30m is sufficient.
