Unsuccessful because of insufficient beta on website.
Unsuccessful because of insufficient beta on website.
An extra 2.4 miles due to wash out but otherwise standard trip with 50% melt out.
This was an enjoyable attempt, but we failed to reach the summit for various reasons.
Overall successful hike. Our group of 6 enjoyed the hike and lovely lake despite the massive Saturday crowds. In the future, I will include this hike during the mid-week for some solitude.
We did the Fishers Hornpipe route and returned through Indian Henrys and came out at the Kautz Creek Trailhead. Great group, excellent weather for a long trip.
Exhausting, exhilarating, and unforgettable are words that come to mind! Forbidden is one of the 50 classic climbs in North America. It is #27 in the Bulger list and the terminating point of the famous Torment-Forbidden Traverse. We only did Forbidden itself.
never been to this section of PCT even though so close by, very scenic.
The trip was successfully, everybody had a good time.
Long hike through some old growth forest, interesting flowers, to a T3 rock scramble. The scramble itself is short but has quite a bit of exposure.
climbing route and gully snow free, bring bug juice :>)
Rough road, bugs at lakes, glacier in good shape
Long trip, passing many alpine lakes, but easily done in a day during the Summer.
Successful summit on Sunday 6/26. 100% snow cover after Heather Pass, a short approach to great views, and nice campsites on bare rock patches near Wing Lake. Stiff & steep snow on the ascent to the NE ridge notch and super loose rock the first 100 meters along the ridge. Exposure galore.
Perfect conditions for this classic climb in the North Cascades. Cool and cloudy on the way up, beautiful sunset from high camp and straight forward climb to summit with amazing 360 degree views.
no snow on the climbing route! :>)
3 day trip up the DC following the recent storm cycle. Route is still in great shape!
Adventure in the North Cascades but no actual Dorado Needle content.
We had a great group head up Little Si for this after work hike. Easy, well maintained trail and lots of fun with a beautiful sunset view at the top.
Picture perfect summit day with grand views in every direction.
