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".

We took a day off at the highway. We said it was for "weather". But really it was for pizza.

Eventually we'd get to business. His first ever pitch of roped climbing was a memorable one...
