Here we are on Mt. Stanley for the second time. The first time around was during Game 6 of the SCF, which we didnt want to jinx by watching. We camped just below the glacier and got to the bottom of the icefall, but didnt have the energy to continue on. This time we try straight from the car, leaving at 1 am in pitch black.
By the early morning we are on the galcier and up to the bottom of the steep snow/ice wall (Kahl Route) leading straight up to the summit. JD leads off and i follow in the footsteps. The snow is in perfect condition for boot packing, which makes it less technical than if this were icy. Long long way up tho, we end up taking turns breaking trail. We reach the top and spend abotu 30 seconds taking photos before heading right back down the way we came.
