Dru Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 These are on the divide south of Slesse, on the US side. Looking for info from anyone who has climbed them from the WA side, how long was the approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kThurner Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Time to approach depends on your route. Rapid is a day from Copper Ridge. It is also a day from Lindeman/Middle Pk area. Accessing Pocket from Twin Lks is a very full day or more. Approaching Pocket from the north is also an option. My advice would be to take a week, do a traverse and not rush through this area.

Ed_Klassen Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 In Sept. of about 1999?, P.A.W. and myself hiked the route from Hannegan to Nesakwatch Creek, climbing over Rapid and Pocket Peaks. Four moderate days. Fine area, met no one but bears, including one doing bum slides down a snow bank. We took no rope, and found nothing more difficult then class 3 climbing. 1st camp under false summit of copper Mtn., 2nd camp 1.5 hours from Rapid Peak, 3rd camp in saddle before Pocket Peak, then down into teddy bear infested pocket lake meadows and out through active logging in Nesakwatch Creek.

Dru Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Yes, thanks. I was thinking you could traverse the ridge south from Labour Day summit SE of Slesse to Pocket with minimal bushwacking, as a 2-day trip from Nesakwatch Creek.
