Example of some of the spice you can get into if you do not go far enough rIght at the start of the glacier. The obvious convexity was heavily crevassed across much of the glacier late in the season. Mountain in far left background is a really beaut
Bergsrund Crossing in Late August
Approach up to Glacier. You can see a little speck of white from where the creek is draining. Follow the creek up
Top of Spire
Looking Down From Summit. Room is pretty tight. Can barely fit 2 people on top of Spire.
View of Glacier. Spire barely visible. I would recommend going as Far Right on the glacier as possible (not visible). We went up on the right side of this photo and ran into a bunch of Crevasses that we had to hop and traverse around late in the season.
1st Rap of the Summit Spire & Good Views of Lynn Canal. That is South, looking towards Haines, AK. You can make it down to the Base of the climb with a single Rap on a 60m rope. There is a single sling at the top of the Spire.

Making our way around the crevasses.
You can barely see the spire in the pass above the glacier.
