Trip: Mt Drum (Wrangell Mountains) - Southwest / Hurricane Ridge

Trip Date: 05/03/2021

Trip Report:

Benny Lieber and I attempted Mt Drum from May 3-8, 2021.  While we didn't summit, this was still an amazing trip.  It was really memorable to be visiting the Wrangells on my first trip to Alaska - a range which is pretty far off the beaten path to say the least.  TR with photos: SPOKALPINE

Gear Notes:
Screws, pickets

Approach Notes:
It's hard to get flights in here. Finding a friendly private pilot is your best bet.

Nice one, thanks for sharing. 

the Wrangell-Saint Elias is so incredibly epic beyond words.

Is Chuck’s flight service in Glennallen?

Thanks Sepultura. That range is amazing... wow. Chuck does not have a flight service, he’s a private pilot that we got connected with.
