North America, Canada, Yukon Territory, Mount Logan
Mount Logan. From June 13 to June 29 Ron Johnson, Don Mech, Len Waller, Lee West, Hal Williams and I made an ascent of Mount Logan. Jack Wilson flew the party from Gulkana Airfield in Alaska via May Creek to near Base Camp at 8950 feet on the Quintino Sella Glacier on June 13-Unusually good weather saw us proceed up the Quintino Sella Glacier into the King Trough, with Camp I at 11,500 feet. Camp II was at 13,600 feet at King Col and Camp III above at 16,000 feet. We crossed an 18,200-foot pass to the plateau and Camp IV at 17,600 feet. From 10,000 feet up we followed the first ascent or traditional west route with the exception of bypassing the west summit at 19,000 feet to the north and proceeding directly to the 19,850-foot main peak, which Waller, Williams and I reached on June 25. Snowshoes were used to 19,000 feet! We were all back in Base Camp on June 27.
