Mount Slaggard

Mount Slaggard is a distant, severely glaciated peak buried deep inside the Icefield Range, some 40 kilometers north-west of Mt. Lucania. In terms of scale and scope of the expedition, it pales in contrast to other St. Elias peaks because it is contained within Kluane National Park and Reserve. That could explain why one of its sub peaks, South Slaggard (4370m), was not ascended until 1997.

On the western side of Mt. Slaggard, there are two more sub summits: West Slaggard I (4,290m) and West Slaggard II (4,210m), both of which are notorious for having the worst snowstorms.

This peak, which is part of the Icefield Range, is one of the lesser-known mountains in the area. Prepare to pay around $10,000 per person on gear, guides, and transportation if you decide to ascend this peak. This type of expedition necessitates months of planning and preparation. While reaching the peak is doable, you must be prepared, as this location is infamous for its bad weather and violent storms.
