[MCR] Mt Cleveland, Glacier Park, MT

For those folks climbing in the southern Alberta region...

 

Climbed Mt Cleveland with Tim Haggarty yesterday via the NW Ridge to West Bowl Route and descended the South Ridge to Stoney Indian Pass via the goat ledges yesterday.  The recent snow has melted off and except for some verglass to watch for in the upper West Bowl the route is dry and in good shape (I would not want to traverse the goat ledges with any fresh precip).  Some recent bear sign on the South Ridge but nothing fresh...apparently the bears climb up to eat the moths that hatch near the summit.  A nice scrambling traverse of the highest peak in Glacier Park.

 

 

Cheers, Conrad Janzen
