Ben Trocki and I did this one in December. We approached the Peters Creek way and it was long, just shy of 20 miles.

Here's Ben on the crux.

After a rest, water, and some food we topped out and made the descent arriving back at the base roughly 40 hours later. The Grizzly Camel is 3,200 feet long and goes at WI4 M4.

Jeez..You are seriously tearing it up back there. In most places these types of climbs would be classic test-peices written up in books by famous climbing legends.

In Ak it's just another obscure line .. not even a blip on the radar.

Loving your TRs.
