Armchair Traversing

Proposed variation on Bomber Traverse:  I believe this route was the 1980's classic.  It seems better to go up the Little Su and down the Pennyroyal Glacier, then up the Bomber Gl. and down Reed Lakes.  It But, wasn't the 80's standard route was up Reed Lakes and down Little Su?

Sunny South Fork Tour

We followed Eruk's ski tracks and Lucy's pawprints toward Eagle Lake on a sunny South Fork ski tour.  Eruk posted a good report on Cross-Country Alaska, a nice place to get updates on trail conditions.  Doc and I saw only two other skiers on the springlike day, and about 20 hikers and snow-shoers.  The trail is pretty well used. 

We skied a couple of hours out, and turned back shadows enveloped the upper valley.  We followed the sun.  

Cantata Peak, Calliope Mountain and Triangle Peak


The Calliope massif towers over the South Fork valley like a sentinel guarding the heart of the Chugach.
