Climb: Naches Peak, Chinook Pass-

 

Date of Climb: 5/9/2004

 

Trip Report:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gear Notes:

Just your regular heavyweight backcountry setup (G4s + Trekkers).

 

Approach Notes:

We left a car a few switchbacks down from the pass, and took the other one to the pass itself. Went up to Naches Peak, then skied down to the car we left at the bottom.

 

Weather was changing a lot (covered; sunny; misting; slightly graupeling; you name it).

 

Snow looked yummy on the southern exposures next to the false summit, but the descent we made was in very very very wet mashed potatoes.

 

But hey, skiing is always great.
