Alpine rock and ice climbing required. Glacier travel and route finding. There are two current summer access routes: both begin at Moraine Lake (5-8 hours) and involve technical rock climbing and glacier travel. Should be comfortable carrying heavy loads in steep terrain. Climbing Objectives (condition dependant) The peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks are all over 10,000 feet, and the hut, at 9,700 feet is an ideal base for bagging these summits. It is standard to climb several peaks in a day. Mt. little, Mt. Bowlen, Mt. Allen, Mt. Perren, Mt. Fay,Mt. Quadra. Participants will be pre-screened for rock climbing and glacier travel experience. Hut fees will cost $90. Participants are responsible to buy backcountry wilderness pass for 3 nights.
