Archangel Ridge Alaska!

May 30, 2009

Today Dylan Freed and I are leaving to attempt a ski descent of the Archangel Ridge on Mount Foraker.

Mount Foraker from Denali, the Archangel is the long sunlight ridge on the right.

There isn’t much information out there on the route. Here a trip report on the second ascent from the American Alpine Journal.

An 11,000ft line that rises from the remote Foraker Glacier

Here is a video fly over of the route on a 3D topo map.
