Mt. Oberlin (June 27th, 2009)

A few photos from June 27th. James Y., Chris C., Kristien and myself drove down to Logan's Pass to join the Glacier Mountaineering Society (led by J. Foster) for a group scramble to the top of Mt. Oberlin.





There is a hiking route to the summit but Foster led us on a route with a bit of scrambling (including one pitch of class IV) to allow those unaccustomed with steep terrain to get accustomed to this type of climbing.



Jim actually belayed a couple of folks on the most difficult part and a few people ventured further along the ridge to explore some pinnacles just beyond the summit.



Chris C., Kristien and myself stayed overnight at the Swiftcurrent motel and hiked again with GMS on Sunday.
