Mt. Michelson, South Face

Mt. Michelson has several routes to the summit; most do the long, sloping west ridge. The South Face leaves the south glacier to climb up mixed snow, talus, and loose blocks about 1000-2000' before gaining a final snow/ice line to the summit ridge. Incredible midnight climb in the 24-hour sun of summer!

Multi-day approach from one of several Hula Hula River "landing strips" (i.e. unmaintained flat spots on river gravel and/or tundra) in the remote, fly-in access high peaks region of the Brooks Range.

Some pickets and screws might help. (I solo'd it on a midnight ramble from my basecamp lower at the bottom of the glacier.)
