Flying_Ned Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Anyone been on this route or attacked The Castle from another eastside route? We're giving this serious consideration for early August and I don't want the trip to turn into a Mazama bail-out. Quote
remlec Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Hmm That's a long haul. I assume you're coming in as per Mazama then traversing. Tried it in May a couple years ago and was blown off. Crevasses were providing interesting route finding to get to the ridge then so August ought to be a hoot. There is an interesting access to the high ridge if you're comfortable with some steep ice. Shorter than starting low but , again, by August It'd be tricky. Quote

Note how broken up the lower Klickitat is Keep me posted, The Castle was on my "tick-list" for this year via this variation. Craig Quote
