A worthy hike
Been up here 3 times. Worth the hike even without any summits. I've been lucky enough to witness some big calving events!

En-Route to/from Walton
Ron and I passed over this saddle en-route across Harrison Glacier to a successful climb of Walton Mountain. On our return across Harrison Glacier our trekking poles, firmly lashed to our packs while were were using ice axes, were buzzing in a thunderstorm. It cleared briefly while we ascended to the saddle but retuned with a vengeance pinning us down for the night. Lightning nailed nearby summits, rock pummeled down and wind and rain made for an interesting night huddled near a cliff.

Climbed 2x
Climbed this in 02 (on the way to Walton) & 06 (on the aborted way to Walton) during a white out. We bailed when we reached this point and did not descend to the Harrison Glacier

another attempt on walton
due to lack of time attempt on walton was aborted.
even without a summit, the trip was well worth it. one of my best trips in the park. I would highly recomend it to anybody doing an overnight in gnp!
Hiked to saddle at 7853 and downclimbed to below Harrison Glacier before giving up on a day hike to Walton due to tremendous crevasses at foot of glacier and lack of gear

Must Have Been Heaven
I never planned to be up there, but my brother and I got separated (my fault), and I had to look for him. My searching took me up to the Divide. I found my brother (later), and I found indescribable beauty, too.
