deskjockie Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Heading in Green Lakes trail to Golden Lake on Thursday. Plan to play on the northwest ridge of Broken Top. Any recent info on skeeters, camping at Golden Lake or climbing the crumbling Broken Top? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 i'm glad to see that someone isn't just going to climb B-choss in a day from the trailhead. to you. if you're going to camp at Golden, watch out for the "green lakes" skeeters...they're huge this year. they should be dying down a little by now though as compared to when i was there 2 weeks ago. those bastards pack a punch. head up the drainage up towards the ponds (the last water) that are south of Golden Lake, following a stream. from there you can gain the NW ridge by shooting for the obvious saddle, up the choss, and follow the climbers' trail to the summit. i didn't find any need to take a helmet when i went, but rockfall could possibly be an issue when you're getting on the ridge if you're partner is clumsy... are you heading up friday?
