Mt Roosevelt to Kaleetan Traverse

[Crillz]

Has anyone done this traverse in recent years? North Ridge.

Anything major one should know/think about if attempting?

 

Thanks.

It's short and fun. We brought a 30 m rope when we did it, for a rack you don't need much. Its very loose on one part where it goes down to a knife edged rige which is very exposed and loose, no good pro. Though very exposed its almost not worth even bringing a rope for that part. You have two options if you fall:

 

1: Fall 30m or however long your rope is (because there is no pro) and die

 

or

 

2: Fall a couple hundred feet and die

Thanks. I had read on here and in the Beckey book that there was a loose section. About how long is the loose section. Do you remember how long the actual traverse took?
