Tatoosh - 4/20/2008

Posted By: RCT in Mount Rainier NP

Trip: Tatoosh -

Date: 4/20/2008

Trip Report:
On Sunday a group of us started off from Narada Falls parking lot and skinned the road to Reflection Lake where we turned up towards Castle Peak and made a few laps. It snowed most of the day, we had 6-8 of light and fresh. On 35-40 degree slopes we set off some small sluffs. Viz came and went throughout the day, so we hugged the trees for part of the day. Sick day, face shots included!

Gear Notes:
Hot tea was a sick bonus.

Approach Notes:
Skin the road to the lake and then cut up to your right through the trees until hitting the open bowl below Castle. We made a lap from the saddle, and the next from the backside of the peak where some of the best lines were had.
