The coastal mountains in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, topped by the 15,300-foot Mt. Fairweather, are among the least visited mountains of their elevation in North America. Mountaineering is made especially challenging by a stormy weather pattern and over 100 inches of precipitation a year; parties frequently spend one to two weeks waiting out storms. The remote access, harsh conditions, and limited availability of rescue require that a climbing party be experienced and totally self-reliant.
