Jacob Smith Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Trip: North Twin Sister - West Ridge Date: 11/28/2015 Trip Report: I broke my last camera over a year ago and Josh forgot his, so all we took are crappy camera phone shots that I'm not going to bother to upload [Josh: if you got any good ones maybe throw them or a link to them in the comments?]. Anywho, we climbed the west ridge of north twin on Saturday. To my surprise, we had the whole mountain (whole range?) to ourselves for the day. Gear Notes: There was a good deal of snow on north aspects but the route itself was surprisingly passable, we didn't break out the pons until the final 100 ft, although they were mandatory for the north route descent. Approach Notes: As we anticipated, the road is not, in my view, terribly bikable at the moment, there was about 4-6in. of snow from a mile or two in, and thick frost and ice before that.

KaskadskyjKozak Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Enough snow to skin up most of the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Smith Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Depends on how much you like your skins. There was not more than an inch or two of loose, dry, powder until after the signed junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
