JeepersLooks scary yet typical.
Hey man, I was wondering, from what you remember about this route, would it be possible for a person -late in season- not carrying an ice axe and crampons to climb Merritt from this side by going AROUND the glacier to the right, rather than crossing the glacier?

Re: keepersIf I were you I'd probably want an axe at least. All depends on the year. Might all be snow one year, might be black ice the next, especially late in the season. An ice ax in my opinion doesn't weigh that much relative to the safety it gives...

CreepersThanks for the response.
Yeah I definitely wouldn't go onto the ice without an axe, I'm just trying to figure out if the rock to the right of it is passable or if it's all cliffs.
That shot is rad by the way.

SleepersThat is the best way up that mountain by far. It's been a long time since we did that route. But I seem to rember the actual rock on the right side was pretty steep, but the angle of the glacier mellowed out the further to the right you went.
