Ruth Mountain & Icy Peak Traverse

Beautiful one day climb of Ruth Mountain.

  • Road suitable for all vehicles

  • Not much water left along the trail to Hannegan Pass. 

Gorgeous views on top. There are a couple of open cracks on Ruth's glacier that are easily avoidable; one is visible from the trail on the way in. Roped up for the glacier and used crampons. Some very small icy spots. No gully or rock scramble at this time, snow almost all the way to the top of Ruth.

Times:

4 hrs to the summit from the car. 

3.5-4 hours  back to the car.
