Heading up to the West Rib Cuttoff from the West Butress. Images MA02 - MA09 cover this increasingly popular alternative to the original approach - climbing the West Buttress to the 14,000' (4270m.) camp, then up the West Rib to 16,000', and a descent to the glacier and the base of the Japanese Couloir. This not only provides some initial acclimitization, but avoids "The Valley of Death", the avalanche-prone East Fork of the Kahiltna glacier. Climbers: Mark Anderson |
