Seattle Backpacking Intermediate Program Trip - Key Exchange trip with Northbound & Southbound groups - late August 2023. Trip highlight was traversing the "knife Edge" & some participants summited "Old Snowy"
A pristine valley guarded by stinging sentinels, the northern aspect route of Tamanos might best be done earlier in the season. Originally included a basic rock traverse of Main Cowlitz - Double Peak, but our warmer summer made negotiating the Sarvant Glacier problematical (along with an elevated air quality index in 160s, the following day).
The scramble itself was not technical, but the off-trail travel and the traverse from chinook peak to crystal peak was tons of fun.
Out and back day trip to the summit via Sahale Glacier!
Not much to say- Basic Tooth climb Notes about permanent gear
2 day climb, spending the night above the 3rd pitch on the NE ridge.
