A person would at least micro-spikes on a average snow year and Ice Axe. Ultralight Kit - 4 season Mid shelter this year. My tripod arm broke after day one, but used a Bear Can for any low light stills; see, they do have a purpose! Approach Notes: Best Part: Lower Queets Basin. Worst Part: Snow Bridges on the Snow Finger, in a lighting storm. Thirstiest: Sidehilling Stephen, to drop into Cream Basin. Wettest: 2 days on the Skyline. Berries Ate: 398,649. Best View: Just before Bear Pass. Worst view: Seattle Basin. Thick clouds blocked this scenic area. Hardest Day: Lake Beauty to Wolf Bar. 20 mile on the Skyline is no joke. Stayed here to catch the bus out of Amanda Park, back to PA. Saddest Day: Walking the 5 miles of road, before getting a hitch to Quinault. I honestly didn't want it to end.

olyclimber Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Great pics. I really love the picture of the bear. What a scruffy bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
