Stavrogin Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i've got friday and saturday free and want to spend some time the hills. what are your favorite 4th class scrambles that don't involve glacier travel. also, i would like to camp one night, so something that i could make two nice easy days of would be good.

fenderfour Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I had a good time on Dumbell a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Â Only class 3, but you could climb Mt. Maude (South side) and Seven Fingered Jack (SW side) as a somewhat strenuous two-day trip with a camp at Leroy Creek Cmpgrnd. Â Sloan Peak (Corkscrew Rte). Â Buckner (SW side). Takes you over Cascade Pass. Â Â Smoot's book "Climbing Washington's Mountains" has a lot of the easier routes (scrambles + hikes) to most of the prominent peaks in WA.

MCash Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 East Face of Corteo is a nice class 3/4 scramble, and has no glaciers. South Ridge of Black Peak is pretty loose, but ok. East Ridge of Blue Lake Peak is fun. Â PM Klenke, I bet he can rattle off a list of about 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Tomihoy Peak would be a nice two day trip. Beautiful area, close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 How about a non-technical, dog-friendly, hanging-out, laidback, sorta thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 How about a non-technical, dog-friendly, hanging-out, laidback, sorta thing? Â Backyard Plateau, Grade III Â Approach: standard approach via kitchen. Traverse southeast to back door (Class 1; variation 1B includes shot of tequila: Class 2), step down onto deck. Follow deck south and descend onto flat boulder prior to topping out on plateau. Excellent bivvy site within easy reach of garden and water source. Total time: 2-5 minutes depending on fitness level. Â Gear Notes: Backyard hammock, hookah, Laguvulin and bag of ice, stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hohm Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 If you are in the Bellingham area, the West ridge of North Twin Sisters is highly recommended (many TR about this route on CC). The West ridge of South Twin is also very good, but has some low 5th near the top. Makes a very nice 2 day trip, camping in the basin between North and South...

hohm Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 If you come in from the North, you will cross at least one Creek, and should still be plenty of snow on the descent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalkyfinger Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I had to take a moment to let you know that I am thrilled with your site and product lines. I am a first-time buyer and am thoroughly impressed. I only knew I wanted to start using glycolics and found your site very useful and informative. Purchased M.D. Forte starter kit and received it the next day. Couldn't believe what a great price I paid - perfectly packaged, too! Your phone staff was incredibly helpful, as well. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thanks again - I'm referring everyone I know! http://www.authentic-strivectin.netfirms.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-rock Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Do the Mountaineers and/or BoeAlps post their group climbing schedules? I think this has come up before but I can't seem to find any posts. The Mazamas do  http://www.mazamas.org/climbing/climb_schedule.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
