Climb: Chair Peak-circumnavigation

 

Date of Climb: 4/18/2004

 

Trip Report:

Ned Flanders and I left Seattle early in the morning, wondering what the weather will bring us. The sun danced among the clouds all day, softening up southern slopes that never froze the night before, but leaving northern aspects icy with breakable crusts. We ended up booting down from Chair-Bryant col to Melakawa Lake, not wanting to skid/crash down frozen avy debris. We wanted to do Kaleetan, but the top looked melted out from below. The snow on the rest of the trip was skiiable, perhaps even enjoyable, though you had to work for your turns. We got back to the car around 2:00 PM and got hit by a few rain showers on the drive back.

 

Approach Notes:

Snow Lake is still solidly frozen. Pretty slushy out there.
