Mount Spurr. The icefall which skirts the east of Crater Peak provided a new route to Mount Spurr’s summit. After landing on winter snow south of Crater Peak, we attacked the icefall on March 25. Marginal weather provided an ethereal setting as séracs faded in and out of view in the drifting mists. The center and finally the eastern edge of the icefall made for interesting route-finding, but no more so than crevasses and steep slopes under deep snow. Only two days were lost to the weather and on March 31 the entire party, P.J. Hill, Greg Moo, Vern Tajas, Rick Kullberg, Mike Kotowski and I, reached the summit in sparkling weather.
