Climbing Little Switzerland first of June

Planning a trip to Little Switzerland in the Alaska Range first of June and was looking for beta. What to expect from the glacier (crevasses), degree of bag, any other parties planning to be there, or any other useful beta. Thanks |

Here's a TR from a few years ago: |

How did the glacier treat you as far as the crevasses? I have Puryear's book on it's way. I live north of Talkeetna about two hours so I may go down before hand and take a look at their topos. Looks like you guys had great weather hope we have some of the same. Well wont bug you with many more questions dont want to spoil my own adventure. Thanks for the reply its much appreciated. |

Glacier was good. What cracks there were you could see and avoid. I don't recall either of us punching through at all. |

I took a trip there back in late June '02, and the glacier travel was casual. In fact we were using sleds to drag our gear up to each route, and we were just riding them down back to base camp when we finished. I' m not sure if that's ill advised, but supper fun and efficient decent strategy. |
