North America, United States, Alaska, Mount Emmerich

Publication Year: 1983.

Mount Emmerich. On July 29 and 30, with two companions I climbed Mount Emmerich (6405 feet), which is just northwest of Haines. We completed the ascent of the northeast ridge, which had been unsuccessfully attempted by Fred Beckey and party in 1976. (They then made the first ascent of the mountain via the southwest ridge. See A.A.J., 1977, page 169.) This involved 17 roped pitches averaging 5.7. We traversed the summits, descending Beckey’s route.
