Glacier Peak from north, showing Frostbite Ridge Route
Kennedy Peak at sunrise - August 2003
Sunset on the unnamed headwall. 8/18/23
Slightly drier conditions on the final section of the route below the Rabbit Ears in the summer of 2003. The crux was probably the steep headwall below the summit ridge in the back of this image.
The first view of Frostbite Ridge
Seriously melted out at the Rabbit Ears - August 2003. Not very alpine, but much easier when you're travelling alone.

View from camp - a day from the road in August 2003.
Betsy Harrison on the north side of Kennedy Peak in August 2003. We didn't go much further as a thick cloud bank enveloped the area shortly thereafter and visibility was next to nill. We didn't know the route so wisely turned back.
In late summer conditions, descending the route is quite easy and thus there's no need to carry over. It was so melted out that the Rabbit Ears section was a boot ski in the dirt. Few crevasses on this route. Easy to navigate solo.
End of the day view of late summer conditons from my campsite. Got up really early so as to be back at camp before the snow got too soft.
