sepultura Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Trip: Unalaska Island, Alaska - Makushin Volcano Date: 7/18/2011 Trip Report: Here is something a little different...and far and away. I have been meaning to post this for a while. Here is some photos from a solo foray I took up Masushin Volcano in the Aleutians last summer. If you would like some more info, please click on the link for a report from the climb that was in the local paper. http://www.thedutchharborfisherman.com/article/1036bering_sea_fisherman_takes_on_makushin Approach Notes: Skiff ride and a long walk...this would be a great ski !

JasonG Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Nice Work! I didn't know it was in the paper, although you said that it hadn't been done very many times. Stay safe this summer, and keep us posted if you skip a couple trips on the boat and head into the hills up there! Quote
sepultura Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Hey Jason, Were going to try to do a trip into the Shaler Range in July, I will keep you posted...unclimbed summits! Keep up the Cascades campaigns and trip reports- they give me something to look forward to when I gat back to port! Quote
WCC Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I read the article in the Dutch Harbor Fisherman. I'm interested in your ascent of Roundtop Mountain on Unimak Island with Jeff Hancock. Can you tell us more? Quote
Trent Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Scott: I did not know that you were a local celebrity! Think about a climbing trip in December; I should have some time to kill! Quote
sepultura Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 WCC, here is a few photos from the trip to Unimak Island that Jeff and I did. We flew into False Pass and proceeded to the Roundtop/Isanotski area. It was a long cold slog in early May, but good conditions for hauling sleds. Mostly we had tent bound storm days, with just enough time to pull of Rountop. Thanks for the interest! Quote
WCC Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 What year was the Roundtop ascent? And when are you headed to the Shaler Mountains? I'd love to read your report when you return. Quote
sepultura Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 Rountop was way back in 1999. Planning on going into the Shalers sometime after the 16th of July. Hope we have good weather. I will let you know how it turns out. Quote
TRbetaFlash Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Wow, nice work! I was up there in 2002 fishing for pollock as well. I stared at that mountain quite a lot, dreaming of just walking out of work at the dock and hiking to the top of it. That view is amazing. Something freaks me out about that island. Perhaps it's the fact that there isn't a single tree on it. Hey, no slide alder. score! Quote
therunningdog Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Nice, buddy. Big country up there! Huge tracts of land! Those glaciers really make Mt. Si look like "just a hike"! I am very humbled! Quote
