Climbing is dangerous! Every year many climbers are broken, maimed, and killed. Don't be so foolish as to trust your life to what you see here. I'm not a guide and neither is this web site. If you don't know what you are doing or where you are going, please take a course or hire a guide! |

Gibraltar LedgesApril, 1997Erica, Paul, and I made our way up this route in the spring of 1997. At the time, it was the most technical route I'd done on a volcano. We used running belays across the Ledges and belayed many of the crevasse crossings higher on the mountain. I misread the route and got us cliffed out at the Beehive, where Paul suddenly had to make a deposit. Moral of the story: Stay climber's right of the ridge top and take a dump before leaving Muir. For variety, we descended the Ingraham Direct route from the top of Gibraltar Rock. This was also the first time a skied (or tried to ski) on a volcano. I made about four attempted turns with very tired legs on the icy Muir snowfield before removing my skis and walking down. Full trip report coming...
