Know_Fear Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Climb: Mt. Maude-North Face Date of Climb: 7/16/2006 Trip Report: Climbed Mt. Maude N. Face on Sunday. The route’s condition was excellent. Temps just touched freezing early Sunday morning. We were at the base of the route at 7:30 a.m. and topped out at 10 a.m. The route was firm down low and frozen/shaded near the top. We decided to approach the route from Leroy Creek via the Upper Ice Lake and the Entiat Glacier instead of the Seven Finger Col suggested by Nelson/Potterfield. This adds some mileage (more character building) but provides a scenic, comfortable bivi at Upper Ice Lake, and an awesome view of the Maude/Seven Finger Jack/Fernow Circ during the final approach. We also considered approaching or returning via the Carne Mt. trail but we decided it would require too much scrambling. A party ahead of us traversed onto the route from the Seven Finger col/ledges and missed several hundred feet of climbing. The bottom and top most sections of the route were the most interesting, and the climb is short enough as it is. So, we felt our approach was a better choice. We each brought and used a second tool. We placed a couple of pickets. The route was skied two weeks earlier, but is now discontinuous. It should be in good shape for a few more weeks. I added some photos to my gallery: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1156 Sorry technical difficulties.... Can somone tell me where to find the source photo that was uploaded to the CC server. I tried using the "" tags from the FAQ but I couldn't make it work.

Otto Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Good advice on embedding the pictures. In addition, you can just remove the "-med" from the filename to reference the big, oringinal picture. Quote
