traildirt Posted Sunday at 10:13 PM Posted Sunday at 10:13 PM (edited) Trip: Forbidden via Silver Creek: Warm Tales from Summer - ... Trip Date: 07/22/2024 Trip Report: It started as an attempt to link the alpine zones from the Chilliwacks to Glacier Peak. But then everything caught on fire. A week in, we pivoted to go Isolation-Forbidden-Inspiration after crossing hwy 20. With all of the traditional access closed, we should have it all to ourselves..and since Forbidden can be climbed with just a glacier kit, why not take advantage of a rare opportunity at solitude on a classic? Hour 26 of that day's effort. I think everyone gets benighted from time to time. But you gotta really fuck it up to also get bemorninged. But before all that we enjoyed a sunny float to the north end of Ross Lake... Silver creek. Henceforth "shit valley". Interesting relics...wonder what the story is Life getting a lot better by this point Nodoubt about it- our pace really put the "chill" in Chilliwack It doesnt look that Furry to me? But you do Luna lot out here And from the other side We'll Pick-it up from here in the morning Obpicketory south side shot We took a day off at the highway. We said it was for "weather". But really it was for pizza. Getting Isolated...except from the piss fiends Mosquito heaven Pickets from their softer side And El Dorado from its harder side Pioneer was ripping this day Eventually we'd get to business. His first ever pitch of roped climbing was a memorable one... A look at where we had come... And the work left undone Gear Notes: a glorified backpacking set up Approach Notes: really long Edited Monday at 01:09 AM by traildirt 1 1 Quote
