Climb: Whitehorse Mt - Whitehorse Glacier

 

Date of Climb: 5/13/2006

 

Trip Report:

On Saturday Dan Smith and I climbed the Whitehorse glacier. We left the car at 5:30 am.

After 45 minutes of bushwacking Dan was still smiling:

After 2 hours Dan's smile was a bit more forced:

We arrived on the summit shortly after noon:

Descent was by the std route which seemed like an endless up and down postholing traverse over Lone Tree Pass.

With Alps-like 6000 ft relief directly above Darrington and enjoyable glacier climbing, we both thought this is a fabulous climb. 11 1/2 hours car to car.
