    PHOTOS OF SULTANA RIDGE CRUX

    in Alaska

    Posted

    Anybody have any route photos of the crux of the sultana ridge (Mt. Foraker)?

     

    I've read about a 55 degree slope section and I think I've seen a photo of it (in my previous Foraker message - how many days it takes to climb). Is it knife edge cornice? From the photos I've scene I can't see what's on the other side of this slope.

     

    Is it a drop into oblivion?

    Denali/Foraker Proposed Fee Increase Update

    This is a bloody joke. I find it funny how when you see a fee increase OK, at most 25%. These guys are trying to make a gain of 500%?

     

    I never thought I would see the day that capitalists would expoit mountaineers, to make gains.

     

    Mt. Logan here we come.

     

    By the way - has this fee hike been approved yet?

    Thanks guys for all this info. The photos are superb.

     

    The one thing I question is how you get on the ridge proper.

     

    From when I was climbing the west butt - it looked avalanche prone to get on the corner of crosson. What's the safest way to get to the main ridge?

     

    I remember hearing constant avalanche sound...like a wet slide, kind of like a waterfall...I could have sworn it was comming from Crosson.
