Verticolorful Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Trip: Cascade Pass - Johannesberg Mountain, Northeast Buttress Date: 7/15/2012 Trip Report: This was my first trip into the alpine outside of the Stuart Range, so as Jens and I sped along the dark road to Cascade Pass I drempt of a super long route on solid white granite... This was not quite what i encountered. I have been wanting to see what i could fit into a solid day in the alpine. When Jens contacted me about doing the Torment-Forbidden traverse or J-berg in a day, i was thrilled for the challenge. Snow conditions helped us decide to take the long decent back around Mixup Peak. I considered this a beautiful tour of the North Cascades. We started around 6am and got back to the car right before midnight. I had never felt so mentally taxed from anything elese as i did the next morning. Spending so much time in the "no fall zone" was an intresting experience, but all experiences on the mountains offer a great deal of learning. We started to the right of the waterfalls. Jens starting our Simu-climb Approach Notes: Avoid large falling ice from the JC glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mitocondria, Brad, and I did the CJ couloir yesterday. The snow was perfect. A lot more firm than what it looks like in your pics, no postholing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
