Juan Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 My wife and our friend Laurie Andrews and I climbed the route this past weekend, and Bob Davis and his two friends did too. Lots of fun, and not real hard. We roped up on the glacier not so much because of crevasse danger but because there is a fair amount of 40-degree snow. One axe and aluminum crampons was all we needed. The so-called ice pitches were disappointing; we went to the right. We camped Sat. p.m. at about 6,300' at the base of Spider Glacier. Nice site; lots of people; running water. Started climbing to Spider Gap at 5:15 Sun. a.m., topped out at 8:30, got back to camp at 11:30, and to the car by 3:45. Amazingly, the summit register showed only one other party having climbed the mountain (by any route) this year, on 6/22. Seems odd given its beauty and relative ease. I recommend this one to anyone who likes climbs like Mt. Daniels, Colchuck, Silver Star, etc. Cheers, John Sharp Quote
