That new nut is on route. Blake and Pete H established a 4 pitch rap route from the top of the knife-edge to the base. I'll agree with Layton that the ropeless scramble to the top is idyllic and finishes up the route nicely for me. Also, it's easy to wander over and summit enchantment pk when you walk off.

I just talked to another party who missed the summit ridge. They claimed to have been led astray by beta in Kramar's new Ltown guide... So, for P6 in the Leavenworth Rock Guide, don't "Start up the corner, " instead "Move up the arete on knobs...".

One rule for the Serpentine, NEVER leave the arete! Nice Job! Looks like a great time to summit.

I'm in!! Thx for sharing.

I dont know your skill level comin from Ohio, but that NW Buttress descent is pretty full value. FWIW. If you do decide to descend via NW Butt or Sherpa glacier (North Side) then it's of little value and a lot more work to move your bivy up to the Goat Pass area from the lower basin.

Not too far...

Nice job you guys! Ivan, i'm psyched you finally got-er-done on the Captain, well-deserved!

I enjoyed the NE buttress climb then Storm King col circumnavigation descent. It felt very alpine and quite committing on that rap over the col.

YES! Not to be missed, the highest point in North Cascades National Park.

right on, thx for the info.

did you guys try the variation start on the right side of the face?

You PDXers are so dysfunctional.

Thanks Pup!

Very psyched to see pics from that neck of the woods. Looks like a very scenic trip, nice job!!

i've got tr's on the back burner because I want to post them on cc but it's way harder than my blog...

Great send!

Sure they work, but the limited cam range, floppy stem, bullshit alumimum cams (that shear), and slippery/small trigger make them inferior to aliens and tcu's in my not so humble opinion.
