Kaleetan/Roosevelt scramble route suggestions?

[JonMW]

What's the best way logistically to combine these 2 peaks - S route on Kaleetan and SE ridge on Roosevelt - on an overnighter? Is a car shuttle necessary?

 

Thinking Roosevelt first day, camp at Gem Lake, then over Melakwa Pass south to Melakwa Lake and ascend Kaleetan day 2. Leave via Denny Creek to 2nd car. Is there a better way?

 

Cheers.

I think you could go in via Denny Creek and leave via Denny Creek.

 

You'll basically be on a trail(s) the whole time. If you scramble up Kaleetan from the east you could save some time - if you do it 2nd. If you want to do it in 2 days, dump your gear below Kaleetan so you don't have to carry it the whole way.

 

You could also take the ridge traverse. It looked pretty airy. You may want a rope depending on what you do.

No rope needed for either peak 43 trip reports here for kaleetan and 6 or so on roosevelt
