Mowich Lake


Mowich does not open until mid-July
From Mowich Lake we'll head out eastward to Castle peak and then drop down into Lake 5100 basin. There could be snow on the descent. After crossing around the lake continue to head eastward again, traversing the north side of Mother Mountain at 5800 ft until the next tarn(lake) when we head up to the ridgeline. Expect some snow and loose rock in places. Bring ice ax, helmet, and hastyharness/biner/prusik. I am camping at Mowich Lake Friday night for another scramble the next day.
