Austera Peak, Inspiration-McAllister-Klawatti Ice Cap

Activity Notes

This remote and thus rarely climbed peak in the North Cascades National Park is a glacier tour unlike most other peaks in the Cascades. Hidden behind the better known peaks accessible from Cascade River Road (Eldorado, Forbidden and Sahale) this climb offers a traverse across contiguous glaciers in a top-of-the-world sort of way. With its strenuous approach, route-finding challenges and stunning setting, this is a unique climbing experience..

The summit itself is unremarkable, but getting their is why we go. If you're ready for a big effort to get to a spot few go to, please apply for this climb.
