- Location
- Commander Glacier
Just returned from a 3 day trip to Commander Glacier. We approached via Farnham Creek FSR, and bivied at 2050m below the Commander Glacier. We summited Commander Mountain and The Cleaver on July 29th. Despite a lack of an overnight freeze we found excellent travel on firm snow and good coverage above 2950m. The snow was a bit slushy near the firm line but only for a short distance. We stayed high and traversed just below the upper glaciel plateau. No issues with crevasses or bergschrunds.
