bsvik Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Trip: Mt. Daniel - Southeast Ridge/Daniel Glacier Date: 7/9/2011 Trip Report: Went up Daniel this Fri-Sat (7/8-7/9). Camped at Peggy's Pond. Ascended the Hyas Creek basin in constant snow from camp to the east peak. Dropped just south of the east summit and took the connecting ridge to the West summit (scramble route). Came back via the Daniel Glacier route recommended in Nelson's guide. There is a single large crevasse open on the Daniel glacier, which you can easily drop below. Descended back to camp in the Hyas Creek basin. Gear Notes: Crampons on the whole way, axe only needed on the steep traverse across Daniel Glacier Approach Notes: -Scatter creek is moving pretty good at the car crossing, but made it across fine in my 2006 Impreza, didn't feel all that desperate -Constant snow starts at ~4600 ft, though the traverse below Cathedral Rock to Peggy's Pond is mostly melted out, leaving the climber's trail exposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
