| I'll tell you why. Finding the right gully from the PCT is hard. It is very, very steep grass that is slippery and hard for your footing. If descending that way, your body takes quite a bit of beating on that steep grass. I have gone both ways, and it's easier to go from Glacier Lake. | |

| This is a long, hard day. My advice...Go to Glacier Lake and lose the elevation. We went south on the PCT to find the gully leading to Chikamin Ridge. Finding the correct gully is difficult from here, although most gullies ultimatley will work. The Mineral Creek Park trail is also very rough. After this trip, you will feel like you've traveled farther than the 14 miles that it is supposed to be officially. | |

| Everyone else we read about takes the route around Glacier lake. Why drop from 5600' down to 4800' and then scramble 2200' to the top when you can keep that hard-earned altitude on the P.C.T. then climb a very direct thigh-burning gully to the summit? This was a very long 13+ hour day, but very rewarding. Only Chimney and Lemah are higher. Hmm, wonder how the view is from Lemah three... (see our trip report & photo's) | |
