McClellan Peak(Enchantments): mixed/ice potential?

[scottgg]

Any body climbing this thing via the north-ish face? Looks like it could have some cool lines. Thanks!

I've thought that too when going through in the spring. I know there are a few rock routes up that way, search the AAJ online for them, but I don't know about mixed or ice routes. Might be a good time to check it out?

had the same thoughts a while ago. I think maybe Rolf, or was it Mark Allen or was it Seth Hobby who did one of them? can't remember. I remember scoping out the descent and thinking it would be epic, and had that confirmed by said person.

 

Hows that for a Reganesque reply?

how bad are some of those chutes and gullies? i climbed McClellan in the summer, and since then ive been interested in climbing it this winter.

My brother and I are thinking of heading up to McClellan this weekend if the weather allows. We thought we'd get up to the Stuart range by taking the ridge that's north of Ingalls Creek, traversing up from the Ingalls Creek trailhead. Anyone been up there via that route?

 

Our family has a cabin in the area and we've always talked about getting into the Enchantments from this side.

I am pretty sure Jens Holsten has tried/done a mixed climb or to on that face.
