Trip: Whitehorse Mountain - Northwest Shoulder

Trip Date: 06/25/2022

Trip 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.

Gear Notes:
Two 30m ropes, a medium nut and a green Camalot

Approach Notes:
Straight forward, nothing much to add.

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.
