Climbing in AK Ruth Gorge: April 26-May 5

Recommended Posts

A couple of us are planning the 10 to 12 day climbing trip in Ruth Gorge, AK, starting from Anchorage on April 26th. This will be our second visit to the Gorge after getting there a week or so too late to climb in decent enough condition. We are mostly looking at climbs ranging from UIAA Grade II - IV on snow & ice. Some of the objectives we are considering includes:

 

-Mt. Dickey (West Face, Grade II)

-Mt. Barrill (Japanese Couloir, Grade III)

-Werewolf Tower (Freezy Nuts Couloir)

-Mt. Wake (Wake Up)

-Mt. Johnson (The Escalator)

-Moose's Tooth (West Ridge, Grade IV-V)

-Explorer's Peak (West Face)

-Mt. Dan Beard (Southwest Route, Grade V)

 

We have the Mountain House booked from May 1 to 5th, planning to relocate our basecamp from R/G Airstrip later on the trip.

Please feel free to contact me directly or post your reply here if you are interested. Hoping to split some travel expenses among several people. Car rental & gas, Satellite phone rental, Lodging in town before/after landing and so on. Air taxi is around $500 R/T each.
