Climb: which was Mt Roosevelt??-

 

Date of Climb: 7/25/2004

 

Trip Report:

From Snow Lake and from the ridge above Gem Lake, there are 3 peaks for Mt Roosevelt: a) to the north a rock peak looking like a block hanging crookedly on its pedestral; b) in the center a smooth pointed pyramid; c) to the south a jagged peak but not as wicked looking as Kaleetan. The pyramid looks taller from these 2 perspectives. But when we climbed to its summit the jagged peak to the south looked taller. My altimeter said we were only at 5750 ft on the pyramid's peak but it is often off by 100 or so since we calibrated by rounded off altitudes at the TH and Alpine Wilderness sign. Did we climb "north Roosevelt" by mistake? If so, where did we go wrong?

 

Gear Notes:

We brought ice axe, handline, helmet but only felt the helmet was needed. Glad we brought the water filter because in the heat we each drank 2.5 liters by the time we returned to Snow Lake. It was great to pump another liter of COLD water for the final trail descent.

 

Approach Notes:
