Routes

East Ridge (Punggung Timur)

Sangat berat–Ekstrem (alpin teknis; es hingga AI 3, campuran 4th–5th class)

+3500 m 3–7 minggu (gaya ekspedisi)

Logan's classic hard route, far more technical and serious than the King Trench. It rises from the Hubbard Glacier (~2,400 m) along a continuous ridgeline to the East Summit (~5,950 m): a bergschrund-protected ~60° headwall to gain the crest, exposed knife-edge sections around 3,500–3,660 m, 4th- to easy 5th-class mixed rock-and-ice scrambling, and ice up to AI 3. Remote, long, and highly committing given extreme weather and wind-slab avalanche danger.

Climbing Experiences

Mount Logan (5,959 m) in Kluane National Park, Yukon, is Canada's highest peak and one of North America's most remote expeditions — reached by ski-plane onto a glacier, then a 2–3 week expedition-style climb with ski touring and sled-hauling. The most common route, the King Trench, is non-technical but brutal due to extreme cold (often −30 to −40 °C), storms, altitude, and a vast summit plateau. The trip reports below highlight long acclimatisation, managing sub-freezing temperatures, and heavy logistics — including a scientific expedition that drilled ice cores and re-measured the summit.
