Climb: North Twin-West Ridge

 

Date of Climb: 6/27/2005

 

Trip Report:

Since my partner for this trip hurt his hand badly, I decided to go alone. Last time I climbed it was back in 1986 so it was time to return. The west ridge of North Twin is in great shape with no snow on the approach or the ridge. The descent down the north side was easy (I slid on my butt on the snow), no crampons needed but that will probably change soon. Ice axe was nice to have. A mountain bike sure speeded things up - left the car park at 5:00am and was back by 10:30am. Great day trip from Vancouver.

Was this a Lily-sanctioned outing?

I see that you got back by Mythos O'clock...

Five hours car-to-car? Damn, that's speedy.

I needed to get back for an afternoon party. clouds were threatening to rain so I had reason to move and the bike ride sure was fun on the way down.
