Scramble to the “Saddle” and beyond

Heading up the last 1,000 feet to top of Mount Fisher
Once we reached the “Saddle” on our way to the top of Mount Fisher, we eagerly threw our packs down and sat down for a well-deserved rest. Out came the bottles of water, trail mix and dried apricots.

 

We were already four hours into our trek and the mid-morning sun was heating up. However, a break at the “Saddle” gave us a tremendous view and glimpse of what to expect from the top of Mount Fisher.

Off in the distance was Dibble Glacier which hides itself tucked away on eastside of the Steeples, and further to the east the Bull River country and its awesome ridge of mountain peaks jutting into the clear blue sky.

Too soon it was time to don our packs and ready ourselves for the final push to peak of Mount Fisher…another 1,000 feet of choppy rock scrambling.
