Route: West Ridge
Posted On: 2019-09-08, By: Grover
Info: Reached the summit of Malemute Peak by gaining the ridge off of the upper Castle Creek TH. Pick the path of least resistance to gain the ridge. There is plenty of loose rock and dirt to hike through to gain the ridge. Once on the ridge, you can bypass the difficulties on the left (north) side, and there are some spots that will make you look for the safest way to go. No snow on the route at all. A very worthy summit, with a suspended view of Castle, Conundrum and Cathedral. The peak register needs to be replaced, as the cap is broken in two, and thus, the paper inside is trashed.

Info: Climbed and skied Malemute from Cathedral lake TH. There's some avalanche debris around 10,600 feet, but it doesn't present a major obstacle. Continuous snow starts around 11k and the summer trail is still covered except for the steep section just before the lake. With the good freeze today, the route was bootable. Without freeze or after snow warms up in the PM you will be swimming in the snow. Cathedral coverage is still good, with some avy debris in both Pearl and East face couloir. Malemute was mostly debris free (NW face). Pix of Castle, Cathedral and the basin are attached. Lake is still frozen (crossed it). Register needs to be replaced.
