Logan 2011

Just a quick trip report, in June Daniel, Stan, Peter and I made the 38 hour drive north to the Yukon. Our goal was to climb Mt. Logan, Canada's highest point and the second highest in North America. We failed, here are some photos.

 Near the top of our ridge

 Our ridge started bottom left and climbed up right to the very obvious sun shade line upper right of photo. see bottom photo for rest of route. Our high point was the top of the wide snow ridge (HubSew Ridge) which we then descended and traversed around to HubSew peak and came down the south west face of HubSew. The ridge that we climbed gained 4,500 ft. and was unclimbed, our descent down the HubSew ridge and face was also a first and we believe that it may offer a better option than the very long East Ridge. The point of climbing a mountain is to stand on top and in that we failed, but what a great climb with great friends!
