A couple folks from our research crew and I hiked this yesterday and had a great time. Above is a picture of the glacier beneath the summit. The mountain has two sharp peaks within a few hundred feet of each other and is named after an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:ZolotyeVorotastar.jpg\">architectural structure in Kiev that had a similar shape<\/a>. I wanted to get a nice picture of the two peaks, but alas, the summit was foggy all day.<\/p>\n<p>We hiked from Galbraith campground to a crag just below the taller of the two summits for a round trip of about 15 hours. As we knew before starting, the summit is inaccessible from our approach (north ridge) due to an almost vertical rockface (below). A good climber (i.e. not me) could probably do this without too much trouble, but perhaps not in the snowy conditions we had yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net\/scienceblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_0573.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-338\" title=\"DSC_0573\" src=\"http:\/\/anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net\/scienceblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_0573-450x301.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"http:\/\/scienceblog.darrouzet-nardi.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_0573-450x301.jpg 450w, http:\/\/scienceblog.darrouzet-nardi.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_0573-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More pictures <a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/112217004742857957314\/Gates2011?authuser=0&amp;authkey=Gv1sRgCLKSktSZ6IbV3QE&amp;feat=directlink\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the cooler hikes near Toolik is Gates of Kiev, the tallest peak visible from camp (7,775 ft).
