Climb: Black Peak-South Ridge

 

Date of Climb: 6/17/2006

 

Trip Report:

I would love to start with a picture, but I might add later because I am at the library computer.

Four of us from Bremerton John, Patrick, George, and myself climbed Black Peak via the south route on June 17th. The climb was very simple, the views were awesome. The hoots and hollars from the mostly female climbing party at the base of the mountain greatly encouraged all of us! Coming down there was a giant 4 foot diameter snow ball to jump upon and surf down the lower snow slope. I have never been mountain surfing before but I would do it again. Basically Black Peak is awesome, ahh the Cascades never disappoint.
