At its core the wilderness experience requires solitude, adventure and natural
beauty –not always in equal measure. We treasure self reliance and the relief from
the relentless din of others. This mountain has become so popular that you will
almost certainly run into others. But up in the high country, you're on your own and
you should not count on others to bail you out of a fix. The whole notion of
adventure is that your trip entails some risk. The truth is, a life without risk is simply
bland pablum.
Here in the high country, there are lots of risks: some quite serious. It's possible to
die on this mountain. Coming here and being able to count on yourself and your
friends to safely have fun in this environment is a powerful personal experience you
will carry with you long after you have returned to the trailhead, thrown your pack in
the back and gone home. This Country is some of the most beautiful, rugged
country in the world. As you gain altitude more of this country comes into view in a
single sweep of the eye. Lakes and streams fill the valleys beneath you. High
peaks form the skyline. Cliffs and steep talus guard the Froze to Death Plateau like
castle ramparts.
