Trip: Squire Creek Wall, South side - Hike up a boot track

Trip Date: 05/11/2023

Trip Report:

On Thursday I took a bike ride up the Squire Creek valley out of Darrington, and then a hike across the creek and up the other side. After parking at the newly graded lot below the new boulders in the road, I found the logging road to be perfectly clear of the winter's debris. The boot track beyond the creek is also free of any new devastation.

I always like to catch Slab Daddy and Oso Rodeo in the morning light:

There is a good peekaboo view of Illusion Wall along the way, before the alders leaf out:

There is still plenty of snow perched on the slab at the start of Concerto in C for Drill and Hammer:

Jet Tower on high:

Gear Notes:
Crampons for the two snow gullies.

Approach Notes:
Approach is in very good shape.
