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 sun/shadow 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.
