M3 glacier travel and alpine rock
This is a redo of an unsuccessful 2025 climb. Preference will be given to team members from that climb.
Mount Olympus, (7,980 feet) is the highest and most prominent mountain in the Olympic Mountains and is a central feature of Olympic National Park. The mountain requires an 18 mile approach hike and significant elevation gain from trailhead to summit. Despite its modest elevation, Mount Olympus supports several large glaciers.
Glacier travel and alpine rock skills and experience required.
Quick itinerary:
Day 1—Arrive at the trailhead and hike in approximately 10 miles to Olympus Guard Station.
Day 2—Hike to Glacier Meadows about 8 miles.
Day 3—Climb, summit, and return to Glacier Meadows.
Day 4—Hike out to trailhead approximately 18 miles.
