lancegranite Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 what would be your supertrip? My cascade supertrip would be a north cascade traverse by alternative means... Paddle Lake Chelan to Holden, Hike the Holden to Lucerne trail via Glacier Peak, Climb Glacier Peak (of course..) Down to the Suattle or Whitechuck, Drop in and paddle the Sauk River to the Skagit, Paddle the Skagit to the Sound. It all sounds good, except the part where we drag kayaks over Glacier Peak. we could swim...or build canoes out of logs. OK...drag a log canoe up Glacier and tobaggon down..we'll live off the land.. eat berries and elk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i would like to traverse the ridges all the way from ashlu to mt denman, around the heads of jervis and toba inlets. john clarke said it would take 2 months. that's a lot of ridge!

lancegranite Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 (edited) The Icicle to Index day trip: CLIMB any Icicle route you feel comfortable doing at 4:00 am. DRIVE to the end of the road. hike 15 miles to Stevens Pass. your friend who dropped you off will be waiting with the bikes. RIDE them the 20 miles down to Skykomish.(use the old cascade highway variation) then.. grab some beers from the gas station for the PADDLE to Baring,(10 mi.) take out at the store for ice cream,then.. HITCHHIKE to Index,sunburnt and buzzed,to CLIMB whatever route feels good in the dark. This can be done. I challenge you,the reader, to complete the traverse in a day. Good Luck, God Speed. the winner gets to name it.. next year ..we'll have the race. Edited October 5, 2003 by lancegranite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole winter's worth of objectives in one trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantage always creeps me out. It has a lunar quality that seems devoid of life. There's just something sinister about that place for me. The echos, the ravens, the puke green lichen, the wind. There's some really cool routes there like Positive Vibrations...oops, I heard that toppled. Did that column really fall? I haven't been there in a while. When I eventually make it back, I don't think I'll ever place gear there again. My luck there has run out. I've lead all the crack pitches there I care to except for some of the harder ones like Bob's Your Uncle. There's plenty o' cracks elsewheres.
