Chris this is one of the best overviews and writeups on a route I have ever read on this site, seriously. You've made me want to climb this peak, bushwacking and all, sounds like an all-around adventure.

Wow, Chad, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about one of my pages! Well, when I did Alpenglow recently I said, "This is one of those mountains you only do once," but if you ever find yourself up here, I'll make an exception and we'll give it a shot, if you like.
I really like your previous shot of it with the snow on it, but the trip you did sounds awesome too. I like that it has so many components (canoe, bushwack, scramble, etc...).
I haven't been to AK, but would like to someday. We will see.
Hah, you know, Baarb, bushwhacking is hard to photograph! But next time I find myself in that kind of misery, maybe it would be entertaining to try. As for alpenglow, it's a relatively rare thing to capture up here for a variety of reasons, but maybe I'll be fortunate this March or April. It would be an appropriate thing to add to the page, for sure.
