During a recent aviation training to Glacier Island (6100’ near the Tahoma Glacier) the park helitack crew was able to snap a couple photos looking up at the Tahoma and west over the Success Cleaver. With the Westside Road open to Fish Creek (3.1 miles from the Paradise Road), climbers are already able to access the routes on the west side of the mountain. Some strategies to approach these routes include biking the Westside Road from beyond the closure to the trailhead and climbing up and over the mountain, descending the standard route back through Camp Muir and doing a vehicle shuttle.
