North Face of Jellicoe from upper Haig Glacier |
May 6 skied and climbed Mount Jellicoe with Raff and Eric. Mt. Jellicoe is the jewel of the Haig Icefield, however not many people climb it in the ski season.
Under good snow conditions it is a terrific ski mountaineering objective. If the snow stability is good, it is possible to ski right from the top of the south ridge all the way down to the Haig icefield.

Assuming everything goes well, it shouldn`t take you more than 14 hours. Highly recommended objective for those of you bored with the uptenth trip to the Wapta.
