This trip is for experienced climbers who want the challenge of a true Alaskan Giant! We tackle Blackburn’s North Ridge, using all the skills and techniques necessary to climb a mountain of this caliber. From the landing strip on the Nabesna Glacier we move camps up the mountain till we establish a high camp around 13,000 ft. Given good weather and proper acclimatization, a summit bid is attempted from here. |
