CLIMBING THE ICONIC SINOPAH MOUNTAIN IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK’S TWO MEDICINE LAKE AREA
There's a good chance you've seen this iconic mountain in a photo somewhere! Sinopah Mountain is the crown jewel of the Two Medicine area, not because it is the highest, biggest, or most dramatic, but because of its striking appearance as it rises from across of Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. Sinopah proves to be an irresistible visual magnet, its lake-facing profile an unbroken wall of cliffs sweeping upward in classic Glacier Park formate. SInopah Mountain is very easy to look at, very photogenic and an excellent mountain to scramble and climb. To reach the summit, you'll be hiking along a completely off-trail route with significant sections of Class 3 scrambling and exposure to steep drop-offs. This route requires careful route-finding through the scramble section to keep the difficulty at Class 3. Like most summits the objective is daunting but once you start climbing it totally reveals itself!

That was Adam’s first ever climb/adventure so I didn’t want to push it by dropping down the backside of Dragons Tail to Hidden Lake.

    This is the best bang for your buck on Rainier with such up close views of Steamboat Prow separating the Winthrop and Emmons glaciers. Also Curtis Ridge, Willis Wall and Liberty Ridge up to Liberty Cap. I spent a lot of time on Rainier this summer it's so fascinating. You'd also dig Observation Rock and Tokaloo Rock I'm pretty sure if you go back sometime. Cheers Matt!

    Damn, too bad you guys were on a time constraint. Could have used the broad side of the ice axe to carve out steps...but that is not fast work. Good call on turning back! Amazing views regardless!

    Been loving these videos! Great content, great footage, I'm glad you popped up in my suggested videos. This looks like a mindblowing area to explore! Hopefully I can come down from Alaska someday and get at least a sample of what that has to offer.

    Cool video Matt! I climbed Stuart a few weeks ago when we had our last full moon and once I got to the summit I noticed Cashmere Mt as it stands relatively by itself a little north from the summit of Stuart to where as you have Dragontail and the rest of the Enchantments peaks and basin to the east/NE. Not sure if you've done Stuart but I'm sure you'd dig it. I also climbed Black Peak for the 3rd time 12 days ago super clear warm day and I have to tell you it was also a non stop party for my eyeballs LMAO! I'd climb with you anytime buddy. Cheers!

      The scree wasn’t bad. There’s some tricky climbing at the final step to the summit. Down climbing was tricky as well. Not terrible though 👍🏼

    I am not kidding about Barronette either. Just jump up on ridge across from Ice Box canyon. Only in good weather. Take gallon of water each! If hot. GREAT LONG DAY HIKE. GREAT PEAK. Electric is a pain 6 false summits talus up top. I like Quadrant over there. Lots of bear traffic over there too.

    The giant bowl of woods and biggest meadow is muddy creek. Bear maul alley. I don't go on trails in the tooth. Hit it from 212. I take four dogs. It is the wild. Wild as it gets lower 48. Start three lakes back from pass cooke city side. The lake under clay butte is literally on the road. Same up past store the one closest to road. Lake chain up and out to Spirit Mountain area. Granite is farther. Late July snow is usually beat down. Early August. Water is still ripping.
