mattp Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 In 2003, the Whitechuck road was washed out way back near the start -- perhaps ten miles from the trailhead -- and the trail itself was also severely damaged. I think the possible alternate approach via Milk Creek may also be out. Last year, climbers were approaching Glacier Peak from the Sauk River.

Bigtree Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 The N. Arete of Wedge (it's in SW British Columbia) offers a safe approach and an easy but asthetic ice arete/easy ice face. Reverse the route to descend to avoid problems with crevasses. Wedge is near Whistler British Columbia. Weart can be done from the same approach. GB Here's a topo for the basic approach to the Wedge at the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigtree/127692511/ (the Wedge and Lesser Wedge are located in the bottome right of the map). Maybe someday I'll figure out how to includes pics in my posts - with a limit of >/= 100 000 bytes it doesn't seem to accommodate much.
