| Climbed with Andy, who suggested this peak, and my friend Jeff. Left our snowshoes at the car, which was the right decision, but the inevitable and predicatble postholing followed. Escaped from loose screen of the west face by climbing firm snow to a 3rd class gully between cliff bands to the north ridge. We were apparently the first party to summit this year. A stiff wind greeted us.
Fantastic views in all directions, especailly to the west and south, Iron Mountain being near the intersection of the Never Summer and Mummy Ranges.
Descended via another drainage to Michigan Ditch. |
