The Eliot Glacier tour, a tradition started by climb leader Gary Beck, takes hikers to the rugged north side of the mountain for a day of glacier travel and exploring. As this hike is above treeline and on slightly technical terrain it's considered a climb, although no this is NOT a summit climb.

Activity Notes

We'll be exploring the Elliot Glacier via roped team travel. This climb will not include a summit.  Climb leader will be spending the night at Tilly Jane Campground. Although not required, it would be ideal to spend the night before at this campground.
