The Crystal Towers - A Yukon Climbing Story
In Summer 2024, a party of four received a grant from the Yukon 125 prize, supported by the Government of Yukon, for an expedition into the Boundary Ranges of Southern Yukon. They aimed to attempt a first ascent on one of the most striking features of the Radelet Peak Massif (aka the 'Crystal Towers'), one of the most coveted lines in the local alpine rock climbing community.
They battled cold, wind, and poor weather for over a week and a half to try to reach the summit.
