Glacier Peak

[Kyle]

Climbed it in a day saturday, via the Sitkum Glacier route, had perfect weather, beautiful views, & saw only one other party. It was loads of fun, but I can't really recommend doing it this way; it was sort of an experimental training exercise for us & turned into a very long, almost grueling day. There's not much snow left up high, so we did a lot of pumice trudging in the sun, which bites. We carried a rope but never used it- the glacier's icy & crevasses obvious.

Thanks for the trip report. I'm planning on doing this route in two weeks. "Almost grueling"? Heck, any route on Glacier IS grueling!
