Blueberry Hill
by Tim Neale, Scree 11/81
October 25, 1981. Under clear skies, 11 folks from the MCA had an enjoyable day climbing Blueberry Hill. The hill is close to the Twenty Mile River near Portage. After a short stroll through a little brush, we broke into an opening, and on up to a ridge that led to the summit. Most of the large peaks in the Chugach Range were visible from the high point on the ridge - point 4490. The ridge had a couple feet of snow. A few interesting cornices were developing on the west side of the ridge.
We found tracks of a critter on the ridge that probably were made by a wolverine. Judging from what we saw of his route on the ridge, we figured he was close to a 5.8 climber on rock.
The group that basked in the sun on this fine October day included: Jim Morrison, Don Hansen, Mark Findlay, Ted Laske, John Lohff, Bruce McCune, Pat Murray, Willy Hersman, Peter Sennhauser, Greg Higgins and Tim Neale.
