Waiting on Fairweather
Follow Mark and Janelle Smiley as they pursue climbing the Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.
Words by Mark Smiley
In June we headed for Mt. Fairweather (15,325′), located a mere 13 miles from the Pacific coast in SE Alaska. The Carpe Ridge is the “classic” route on its South Face. This snow, ice, and rock route ascends a little under 11,000 vertical feet from the glacier camp. It’s huge! I would equate it to a remote, steeper, rockier, longer, Liberty Ridge on Rainier.
Check out the newly released video of Mark & Janelle Smiley’s ascent of the Moose’s Tooth West Ridge in Alaska. Inspiring work! Get the full trip report at Moose’s Tooth – West Ridge See the Smiley’s project in progress at SmileysProject.com Stay tuned for more awesome videos this fall!
