Otto Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Trip: Whitehorse Mountain - Northwest ShoulderTrip Date: 06/25/2022Trip Report: Four of us climbed this standard route on a sunny day in late June. After many years of passing by the mountain on the way to Darrington slabs, wondering when I'd get on it, it was a relief to stand on the summit. Mark and I started the hike at 6:30am, Kellie and Russ a little later, and returned to the cars at midnight. The snow was firm enough for good footing, and the moat was unexpectedly easy to cross. Our 30m rope was just enough to cover the summit rock climb. My thanks go to Mark, Kellie, and Russ for their competence and conviviality. Traversing to the High Pass The short rappel into the moat The spacious confines of the moat Looking back down the glacier to High Pass Out on the planet Gear Notes: Two 30m ropes, a medium nut and a green CamalotApproach Notes: Straight forward, nothing much to add. 2 1 1 Quote
tanstaafl Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Hey man, Russ and I left the TH at seven and we actually got back at 11:30; don't be messing with our split times! Nice "geezer chicks of mountaineering" shot. Thanks for letting us tag along on your conditioning hike. No comment on the condition I'm actually in. Quote
