Reaching high camp will save you 2-3 hours on summit day. Allow 9-12 hours from low camp to the summit. Follow the trail and boot pack from high camp up to the Disappointment Peak ridge line. From here, you'll have to either climb the rock on the ridge or make faster time by roping up with crampons and climbing the Suiattle Glacier.

Traverse to the right in front of Disappointment Peak and watch for rockfall. Veer left to Cool Glacier being very cautious of the crevasses and possible hard ice as we experienced. After gaining the Cool Glacier snowfield, follow the boot pack to the moraine ridge line above. Leave ropes and crampons and all unnecessary gear here and ascend the snow free ridge.

Follow the switchbacks up the face. Cross a small gully where the rock gets larger and ascend the right side of the smaller snow patch to the right of the larger one. About halfway up this patch, cross the narrow section of snow to gain the left side of the snow patch. Some steep rock scrambling from here to the summit.

A notch in the rock opens to snow. Follow the boot pack to the left a short distance to the summit and register. Climbed August 23, 2022
