Animal Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Climb: Falls Creek Traverse-From Hoh to North Fork via Tom, Olympus & Queets Date of Climb: 8/7/2006 Trip Report: Tony, Jason, and myself decided to check out an old 1935 trail up Falls Creek. We used this approach to climb Mt Tom, then Olympus. We then crossed the middle peak of Olympus to camp Pan. Our journies then lead us across the Humes galcier to Queets Basin to climb Mt Queets. We left the awesome high country via the snow finger and hiked out the North Fork of the Quinalt. It was an awesome eight day trip on loose olympic choss. Enjoy some of the pictures.

bremerton_john Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I know Animal was having no luck posting photos when he wrote the TR. I'll nag him again and help him out, he's got some great pictures. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilU Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Almost a 5 year old TR but I figured I'd ask for more detail on that approach to mt Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremerton_john Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 PhilU, the originator of that TR (Animal) doesn't often log on here. I'll pass on your request for info to him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 PhilU We hiked up the Hoh to the guard station, then we forded the Hoh, and basically followed elk paths up the west side of Falls Creek, we eventually crossed the creek where it was dry and sunken beneath the boulders, and we stayed on the West side of Ridge of the Gods to White Rock Lakes. It was a little tricky getting down from the lakes to the White Glacier, but goat and elk paths showed the way. From there it was an east ascent of Mt Tom. Hope this helps, if you have more questions send them to me and I can check this web site more often in the near future! Animal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
