My route is harder than the established routes, yet, for that time of year (May), it's safer from a snow & ice perspective. I recall hearing that the day before I reached the summit, one person from a party of four fell in ice in New Army Pass, and died. *

So is there a 2023 TR?

Feel free to ask any questions..... Lately, I've been anxious to go up the N. Fork Lubken Creek as another way to get to Langley. It goes south, then a sharp right to the west towards the north side of the Whooleyback (the only peak that's round on top). Once I skipped the right and kept straight to a pass that leads to the Cottonwood area. *
