Climbing Sloan Peak | Sloan Peak Summit from Bedal Creek Trailhead

We climbed Sloan Peak car to car starting from Bedal Creek Trailhead. Bedal Creek is an alternative to the Sloan Creek Trailhead. It's slightly shorter and allows you to avoid the water crossings.
The road to the trailhead is rather overgrown and very narrow. A high clearance vehicle is recommended and hopefully you don't mind a few branches scratching the sides of your vehicle!
The trail itself is also unmaintained and very overgrown. Lots of downed trees and thick brush to navigate through. It's definitely a bushwhack at times. At 1.5 miles in you reach a climber's trail that leads up the forested hillside. The climber's trail is marked with pink ribbons to help guide you up to the meadow traverse where there are great views of Sloan Peak in the distance.
We made our way to the base of the glacier, where we roped up and and made the short crossing. At the end of the glacier, we were able to ditch most of our gear and make the scramble up to the summit of Sloan Peak--mostly class 2-3 scrambling.
It was a perfectly clear day with incredible 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks.
As always, thanks for watching, and please be sure to subscribe to keep following along on all of our adventures!

Used to do 9z and 10z in my 30z and this isn't as exposed, but at almost 68, I got adrenaline FOR you when she shot you standing on the crest. TYVM for the rush. I still do Miner's Flat on Whitehorse, but not to the top now. Enjoy while you can as ankles and knees get janky as you get older; big sigh to follow.

Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! We’re trying to enjoy as much as possible and take care of those joints haha. Thanks again!

This was great. Was the glacier travel doable without roping up?

@marriedmountaineers 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! There are some pretty big crevasses up there. Wouldn’t recommend doing it unroped. However, we did encounter a guy climbing solo up there so it can be done.

Just chiming in because of your question. Sloan Glacier is an active glacier. I’ve climbed it as late as October and the crevasses then are large enough for a house to fit inside them. Really on, you are walking over those crevasses. Any glacier can be traveled without a rope, but mountaineers rope up for the chance of falling through. There has been some big rescues on Sloan, don’t be that guy but of course your call.
