Jack Mountain, North Face. On July 18 and 19, Fred Beckey, Dallas Kloke and I climbed the north face of Jack Mountain (9066 feet) via an approach through the 7000-foot pass between East and West Crater Mountains. From camp at 6000 feet just east of Jack, we climbed and traversed to a narrow and badly broken glacier on the north face, we climbed this until objective dangers forced us to a ridge to the right. We ascended this for 500 feet until we got to an interesting snow traverse and a steep rock scrambler to the summit.
