12-13-16 Beta Pics-More

Haven't been skiing, because I've been flying for work.  So here are some aerial pics of the last 10 miles flying into Juneau.

12-11-16 Beta Pics

Working too much to ski.  These are beta pics for later........

All taken from Eagle Beach (and a few from Auke Bay) area, looking up at the peaks above the Herbert and Eagle Glaciers.

Mt Wrather above the Mendenhall Glacier

McGinnis Mtn above the Mendenhall Glacier, across from Mt. Wrather

SE Face of Bullard with a sneaky couloir up the center of the face.  This empties into Middle Basin of Nugget Creek.

Unnamed peak across the Herbert Glacier and SE of Earnest Gruening mountain.  3,000+ foot lines.  Two miles of glacier travel to get to, plus four mile, mostly flat trail up Herbert Glacier trail

Same as above.

Huge west flank of Earnest Gruening.  Empties into Eagle Glacier Cabin.

Same as above.  Part of the flank of Earnest Gruening.

Steep south ridge of Earnest Gruening.  The saddle is accessible via a south facing approach off the toe of the Herbert Glacier.

Looming west face of the West Tower of the Mendenhall towers. I think this is skiable.  It's been climbed.  3,000+ foot line.

Approach up Earnest Gruening  It's the tree/sunlit ramp lookers left, at the toe of the Herbert Glacier.  2,200ft approach to the ridgeline/saddle.  

Large flank of Earnest Gruening down into the Eagle Glacier cabin.

Earnest Gruening flank again.

View from Eagle Beach and Eagle River of Earnest Grueing peak on left, Herbert Glacier lower right,and unnamed peaks in the background above the Herbert Glacier.
