dadoufergy Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Trip: Sloan Peak - Bedal creekTrip Date: 07/04/2024Trip Report: High clearance vehicles only. Brushy road scratched truck. Bedal creek trail overgrown. SAR trail to Bedal/Sloan saddle was well flagged and nice direct climber’s trail in open timber. Tarn still melting out. Glacier in good condition. Few crevasses near top. Went high right then cut under first rock band. Significant rock debris littered the center of the glacier. Scramble route was still snow covered. Beyond my comfort level. Turned back. Last two photos compare July 2023 (from YouTube video) to July 2024. Gear Notes: Standard glacier gearApproach Notes: No water between Bedal creek and Bedal/Sloan saddle until tarn. Plenty in basin above tarn. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
