From Anchorage head down the Seward Highway, go around 40 miles and turn left on to Portage Glacier Rd. The turn will be just past the train station as the highway makes a wide sweeping hook to the right. Head into Portage Lake or head to Whittier.
From Portage Lake the easiest way to get down the lake would be by boat. From Whittier there is no trail so there's just about any approach you think looks best to you. Some follow Whittier Creek before crossing towards Shakespeare Shoulder.
Between Shakespeare and Whittier Glaciers, 1.8 mi SW of Whittier, Chugach Mountains.
Shakespeare Shoulder is a ridge and peak with glaciers on both side, it's on the east end of Portage Lake, and the base of it runs against the south side of Whittier.
Naming: Named sometime around 1915, it was named in correlation with the adjacent glacier. Shakespeare Glacier was named after the English author, dramatist, and poet William Shakespeare.
