P 12,380. This peak lies between Hunter and McKinley. On May 11, after two previous attempts and a barrage of rotten weather, Chuck Sink, Mal Ulrich and I ascended a large couloir on P 12,380’s south face and joined the southwest ridge at a col. Snow-covered ice and rock outcrops on the ridge led to the top. Our 22-hour first ascent and descent were followed by several days of more inclement weather.
