Trip: Lundin - Southeast Ridge

Trip Date: 11/17/2018

Trip Report:

Ahhhhhhh......... Smooting.  Is there ever a better fall activity?  Wait, don't answer that. 

Just look at the photos below and don't feel so sad that the ski season hasn't really started yet (have you bought your Smoot copy yet?).  And get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that @cfire, @genepires, @Kit, and myself all had a very nice friendship hike to the top of a snowy ridge.

"Congratulations! it wasn't terrible."- @cfire

Gear Notes:
half rope, ice axe, crampons, helmet, light rack (this time of year). When the rock is dry you can probably scramble it all at a grade of exposed Cl. 4. Snow and ice made it a bit more exciting.

Approach Notes:
Commonwealth Basin trail to the end and then follow the ridge up.

Looks wintery! I’m amazed at the snow level difference between the Cascades and the Olympics right now. I was on & around Buckhorn on Sunday, almost a thousand feet higher than Lundin, and was in a t-shirt all day and didn’t come close to stepping on any snow. Maybe it’s the rain shadow, but what a difference.
