Used to do 9z and 10z in my 30z and this isn't as exposed, but at almost 68, I got adrenaline FOR you when she shot you standing on the crest. TYVM for the rush. I still do Miner's Flat on Whitehorse, but not to the top now. Enjoy while you can as ankles and knees get janky as you get older; big sigh to follow.
Thanks so much! There are some pretty big crevasses up there. Wouldn’t recommend doing it unroped. However, we did encounter a guy climbing solo up there so it can be done.
Just chiming in because of your question. Sloan Glacier is an active glacier. I’ve climbed it as late as October and the crevasses then are large enough for a house to fit inside them. Really on, you are walking over those crevasses. Any glacier can be traveled without a rope, but mountaineers rope up for the chance of falling through. There has been some big rescues on Sloan, don’t be that guy but of course your call.

Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! We’re trying to enjoy as much as possible and take care of those joints haha. Thanks again!
This was great. Was the glacier travel doable without roping up?

Nice! What were the trail stats (mile/elev) and what were yalls pack weights
It was roughly 10 miles with 5,100 ft of elevation. Didn’t weigh our packs but I’d guess 15-20 lbs?
