Kitchatna Spires

 Glen Deal flew to Post Lake where his family has a cabin, equipped with snow machines.  After spending a night there we launched down to the Kuskokwim, then up the Tatina River to the head of the Tatina Glacier.

The clouds parted just enough to head up on the glacier




Me and Glen
We attempted this line on the West side of the glacier

Glen got up in to some tough and unprotectable terrain, here he is just after he came off.  I didn't have the guts to give it a try so we bailed.  
On the way home, the Kuskokwim was getting pretty open
