Description

The Stump located just to the southwest of the Wisdom Tooth is technically part of the Wisdom Tooth, but it does have it's own summit. It stands about 1800' high off the glacier and was named in honor of Mugs Stump after his death in 1992. Despite this peaks small size it has a lot to offer with lots of good quality rock and routes of all sizes and difficulties. From multi-pitch classics like Goldfinger to one pitch crag routes that remain undocumented, there is something for everyone.

Getting There

This is another peak with a very easy approach making it ideal for an easy day of craging. From the Ruth Gorge head north or south depending on where your camping, straight toward the Stump on the east side of the Gorge. Navigate a relatively easy section of crevasses and your there.
