Franklin Glacier Traverse

Coastdown the Confederation Gl to its major junction at 1550m.Ascend the S branch of the Confederation Gl to the glaci-ated shoulder E of Jubilee Mtn.The exit to the Klinaklini Rvalley climbs over the shoulder of Jubilee Mtn.This sectionrequires reasonable visibility and is the crux of the traverse.Cross the N ridge of Jubilee Mtn via a 2480m notch in the ridge.From the flat shoulder N of the summit, descend the N margin of a steep icefall onto the upper Lemolo Gl. Turn S across the flats of the Lemolo Gl and ski through the 2300m pass that leads to the head of the Chasm Gl. From the southern rim of the Chasm Gl, swing around to an unnamed W-facing glacier. Descend this glacier for 400 m.To avoid being drawn into the narrow basin below, traverse SW across a minor ridge at 1710m and drop SW to pick up old logging roads below 1200m. These spurs are deactivated and growing with alder but can be walked 5km down to Devereaux Lk.
