Looking for information on Glacier ridge and climbing peak 12,240
Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2023 10:25 pm
Hello all,
I'm starting a trip to Glacier Ridge on Sunday the 27th. I'll be going from Cloud Canyon over the Arnot route through Josephine lake, seeing the eastern lakes, crossing the pass, and then exploring all the western lakes as well. I'd appreciate if anyone had any info on the following
1) Climbing peak 12,240. What route did you take and what class did you find it to be?
2) Anyone exited the western basin south over “Glacier Ridge Pass” (as labelled on CalTopo). What class was that pass? I’ve seen 3’s and 4’s but would love to hear personal experience.
3) Any .gpx files people might have for crossing the ridge greatly appreciated. I’ll probably find my way without it but wouldn’t hurt.
Thank you!
