Glacier Peak Climb - Single Push

Tea Time In The Alpine

5,680 views

Hello everyone! In this video, we summit Glacier Peak in a single day push. To keep our packs extremely light, we opted to bypass the Glacier via Disappointment Peak. Though, this allowed us to be light. Going directly up the spine of Disappointment was extremely loose and not super enjoyable. Some beta recommends hanging left around Disappointment Peak. I would recommend trying that. I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!

I climbed the route in 1969. We carried overnight gear and made base camp at 5000’. The next day we summited by noon, then ran all the way back to our cars. I was 16 at the time, and that effort remains the hardest day of my life. I packed my flute to the summit to play a celebratory tune. There was far more snow and ice on the mountain then. Global warming is real.

I did this in 2 days back in early August and we were completely wasted by the time we got back to the car. Savage dude.

I and a couple of buddies did it C2C a few years back. Left from Seattle at 6:00 am and came within 20 minutes of not needing headlamps on the way out, but we flicked 'em on when we started tripping over each other. hahha ..thanks for the memories!

I climbed this in 2022 at age 66. Amazing experience but a very tough climb. It threw everything at us, heat and cold, fast water crossings in the dark and rock climbing. Very thick fog at White Pass. Some navigation at night. A big freakin 'shrund between the Suiattle and Cool glaciers at about 9,000'. Crossed a steep, icy snow bridge twice. Wouldn't trade the experience for anything! Also my last Washington volcano.

This video is pretty helpful. I've been considering scrambling around the glacier as well.

No way! We didn't know you had a YouTube channel! We met you two in early 2023 on Baker when our tent blew away 🤣 Awesome video, looking forward to watching more!

Dang, thanks for this video! Was wondering if I could find anyone who ran the entire route and bypassed the glacier. Looking to do this from the Lake Wenatchee / White River side trail and should be around 40miles. Thanks for the the vid and all the details!

Just hiked the PCT and found out about glacier peak because of that. Such a beautiful area. Definitely wondered if people climb the mountain much and then this popped up on my page. Nice vid! I also found the music to be fine

I know this sounds pretty crazy, but would you or somebody you know be willing to climb Glacier mountain with me between July 2/3 or 3/4 ? I'd like to do the glacier route but I have nobody to rope in with. I'm willing to pay for an Uber to and from the trailhead.

Learning how to complete a sentence might be a handy item in your kit. Knowing weather you came in from Buck Creek Pass , the Suiattle or White Chuck would be nice addition too
