terrible_ted Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hi: Went up via Bachelor Creek via Downey Creek. Downey is great, Bachelor is a bit of work. Avalanche slope starting ~4700' (altimeter crapped out early that morning) is first traversed on the right (looking upslope) until a pair of wands indicate the end of the road. Then, pick the least painful way upslope, probably staying in the more open portions. Numerous small drainages on the lower left side of the slope. The trail can be picked up WAY to the left after picking up ~500'. A few more wands mark the re-entry to the upper trail. Itswoot Ridge camp is gorgeous! From camp, 5.5 hrs up, 2.5 hrs down. Glacier is a walk-up. We replaced the summit register, which dated from 1994. Some great entries in there - Larry Ingalls may win for most inspiring! ~36 miles RT. Next time I want Motrin as my corporate sponser. -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
