Description

To reach the summit from the notch that the actual snowfield reaches it takes some Class 5 climbing (look for Navajo Peak - North Face).

The snowfield should stay cool most of the day, so it even makes for a good second lap should your legs allow after skiing Apache Couloir or something on Isabelle Glacier. Approach via the Isabelle Glacier Trail.

Instead of turning north at the tarn at 11,500', go straight west into the Navajo-Apache cirque.

This is the big snowfield on looker's left.

Climb to the notch and either ski from here or climb the North Face route before returning.
