gearho Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Climb: Glacier Peak-Diasapoinment Peak and several glaciers Date of Climb: 9/7/2004 Trip Report: It goes. Just got back, but it goes... Gear Notes: standard glacier gear, carried gear but never placed it. Approach Notes: When in a white out and trying to find a specific spot to avoid a cliffband, refrain from agreeing that a single strand rap to check it out is a good idea...Mo' later...

Norman_Clyde Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Climbing Glacier this year, trails in their current condition, must have felt more remote than the Pickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Climbing Glacier this year, trails in their current condition, must have felt more remote than the Pickets. There is still a very reasonable approach if you are going to the south side of the mountain, as they did. The big difference between this area and the pickets is the terrain is so much easier.

gearho Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 You know, it was pretty easy on the technical scale. On the remoteness scale it ranks pretty high. We only saw one tent on the way out. For the skiers, the gulley to the west of Disapointment looks like some scary MF ride from the summit and no glacier - thus no crevasses- all the way to the valley below. Light pack, right snow, mad hike in and summit, ski off. Crazy as you are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYouCanEat Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Glacier peak is indeed a pretty remote area. I've hiked all the way around it and skied from the summit several times. Seeing your pictures, I'm kind've bummed I didn't get out there this year. Nice pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
