Trip: Graybeard - South gully Trip Date: 05/20/2018 Trip Report: You'd think, looking at Graybeard from multiple angles, that there isn't a reasonable ski line on the peak. But a clever wee gully splits the south side and deposits one a few meters from the tippy top (some loosey goosey 3rd in ski boots to keep the finish spicy). On a clear day (which we didn't have) the view is not too shabby either, esp. the gulp inducing perspective looking down the north face. Yowza. It has been off my list for a long time but this only reinforced why. Descending back to Easy Pass in the afternoon brought us back to the crowds that are now unfortunately common in the North Cascades on weekends (3 people). Go midweek. This report is a bit late for the photos to be useful, but there is always next year. Summit ridge: Agnes! (L), Gunsight, and Sinster: The entrance is a bit steep: Across to Hardy (a great ski as well, with a bit more snow): Time to pack 'em: Gear Notes: skis, ski crampons Approach Notes: Careful on the side hill from Easy Pass.
