Glacier Peak Sitkum Glacier TR 9/19 - 9/21

[Farrgo]

Alpanist Andrew and myself went up on Glacier Peak this weekend. We did our approach on Friday evening and camped out at the junction of the White Chuck Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. Initially we planned on an early start, but abandoned that idea when the hour rolled around and started from camp at about 9ish. The climb is snowfree until about 8,000 feet when you reach the Sitkum Glacier. The glacier is fairly crevaced and has one tricky section near the cleaver where you have to navigate between some deep crevaces. It feels like full on winter conditions up towards the summit (cold and windy, with rime ice). A bit of a slog but you have some great views.

Sounds like fun.
