Rad! Good to see someone get up this. A friend and I attempted it a couple summers ago but were deterred by the looseness and turned tail. Scrambled the peak a day or two later via the North ridge/descent described in the TR.
I was privileged enough to enjoy 3 separate weeks up there over the past decade. Truly a special locale. Thanks for sharing.
how did you get a spot at the hut? I heard it’s basically dominated by ski clubs these days.
Yikes! Sounds like you found the next modern moderate in the n. Cascades? 😏
I too understand the edge of adulting when you still climb but start to consider the consequences of such a line. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!
