We reached the cabin at about 5pm. Our plan was to settle in for the night and attempt to summit in the early hours of the 19th. Here is our route from the bottom of the wedge glacier to the summit of Wedge Mountain via the North Arête.
The Summit of the North Arête
On Aug 18th 2010 we began our ascent of the Wedge Trail. Our packs each weighed approximately 40lbs so the trail took us about 4 hrs.
When we woke in the morning, the weather had turned overnight and it was completely socked in. It stayed this was until about 11am, which put an end to our summit. I am determined to attempt a summit again.
Due to our summit being cancelled we explored the glacier and practiced safe glacier travel for a few hours before making our descent a day early. Here are some photos for your enjoyment and stay tuned for our second summit attempt this winter.
