2011 Alaska Mountaineering

Glacier peak ascents One of the many un-named summits in the Iceberg Lake vicinity

This is one of our favorite places to go due to access and the variety of terrain to climb in the area. Iceberg lake is located on the fringe of the Bagley Ice Field and offers a variety of day climbs ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 thousand feet long of knife-edged ridges, snow and ice slopes, granite faces, and lots of glacier travel.

The access in this area is as good as it gets. The bush plane drops us of in an alpine valley and it is a short hike to base camp were we set up the tents at the toe of the glacier amongst wild flowers and towering peaks above us. This is an excellent area for all levels of climbers, whether first-timers or those out there looking for a rewarding challenge!
