Glacier Divide Backpack – Lamarck Col
For a while, I had been looking at Lamarck Col as a way to make a loop around the Glacier Divide. On some maps, it is shown as a trail. On others, the route is absent. After some online research, I found that there is enough of a route to take friends on this class 1+ route. Having this route made for a short loop alternative to the more popular South Lake / North Lake loop that people do over Bishop Pass. Since it was a group trip, I didn’t have the time to write narrative captions on each photo. My favorite part of the route was definitely the Darwin Bench, which surprised me with its beauty. I hope you enjoy the photos, even in the absence of the typical storytelling.
