Climbing Glacier Peak in One Day

[@chasethealberts]

Very helpful video with the commentary. Micro spikes and an ice axe are all you need?

[@joelballezza]

And water purifier, plenty of food, sun protection and good route selection while on the glacier. That’s it!

Hello Glacier Peak never made it to the summit but went up Green Mountain with my favorite dog's Scooby-Doo Glacier Peak is a active volcano in our backyard I love that mountain

[@alexsakon]

Great time

[@jwil425]

Congrats on the summit! What time of the year did you do this? Planning on going up in the beginning of July.

[@joelballezza]

I think it was the first week of September.

[@JoshExmoor]

1:14 Uh, no that's White Pass. You've got some miles until Glacier Gap my friend.

[@joelballezza]

Maybe hopeful thinking at the time. It’s a trip how long the approach is.

[@evanzener8692]

Could a sedan make it to the trailhead? Good job. Rock on!

[@joelballezza]

Yes. It will be a little bumpy but not too bad. The hard part is finding parking depending on the day, plus hid valuables. Lots of smashed windows.

[@evanzener8692]

@@joelballezza Crazy about the smashed windows. Cool. Thanks!

[@rodneyshackelford7529]

Glacier travel without being roped up concerns me.

[@joelballezza]

Yes, I hear you but in this instance we had perfect conditions and the right tools. I had no concerns but if it was windy and bulletproof ice that would be different for sure

[@jacquess1641]

I'll just stick to hiking, my dodgy ankles will snap crackle and pop the first few steps i take :(

[@joelballezza]

Jac Sch I can’t blame you. My body was pretty worked over after getting back to the car. The climb itself isn’t that hard, but getting there and back is brutal

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

This is outstanding! Going to do the same as you and the crew did. What time of year was this

[@joelballezza]

We did the run in early September if my memory serves me right. Excellent conditions and no problem accessing water or traveling over the glacier. Just two steps that had to be smart
