Denis98 Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 If I were to traverse the sisters range which way would I go, South to North or the other way around. Any information on routes. Denis Quote
Necronomicon Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 Do you plan on actually traversing the entire range, or climbing the major summits in some sort of sequence? There is some majorly convoluted terrain on the ridge between the N. and S. Twin summits, which would take much time to negotiate. Here's a more likely scenario. Ascend either the West Ridge or N. Slope of N. Twin, and descend the S. Face into the cirque between the two peaks. Ascend either the W. Ridge of South twin, or hop over the ridge at the back of the cique and ascend the Northeast face directly to the summit. From there, head south... Quote
plexus Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Listen to what Necro is saying. It's easy connecting the North and South Twin. I don't know about the middle group firsthand but from close vantages, they are pretty bunched together. The last four peaks starting from Barbara down south to Step Sister, you pretty much can follow summit to summit along connecting ridges. I know that you can do the last three together in one day and probably everything from teh Boot Lake area south in one day, hike out and still hit the Skagit River Brewery in time for a couple of rounds. Hope that helps. Also the nice thing about the range is the rock is so good, you really don't have to follow the route descriptions too closely, pick your line and go. Have fun Quote
Denis98 Posted June 11, 2002 Author Posted June 11, 2002 Hey Dru I didn't do sky pilot, the person I was supposed to go with ended having to work. I went uo to Lady peak, and did North twin Sunday. Pretty nice. Denis Quote
plexus Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Denis, when you did N. Twin, how was the snow on the West Ridge? Thinking about heading up there this weekend. Normally this time of year it's not a problem, but with all of the late snow we've had.... Thanks for your help Cheers Quote
Denis98 Posted June 14, 2002 Author Posted June 14, 2002 Yes I did North and the West ridge was clear of snow and came down the North face. Denis Quote
