[MCR] Gear at Glacier Circle Hut

Subject: [MCR] Gear at Glacier Circle Hut

The Glacier Park Warden Service has a report from a solo climber that he injured his hand in a rockfall event on Hasler Peak last week.  He descended to Glacier Circle, and then hiked out over the Illecilewaet Neve to seek medical attention.  He has apparently left some equipment at the Glacier Circle Hut, as well as at a basecamp at the base of Mount Selwyn.  We have plans to pick up his equipment by helicopter within the next week or so. 

 

In the meantime, if you see the gear at the Hut, gear and food cache at the base of Selwyn, or read his account in the hut logbook or the summit register, do not be alarmed.

 

Cheers,
