fern Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Trip: Forbidden Peak - North Ridge Date: 7/1/2007 Trip Report: Boston Glacier is well filled in, many snow bridges and easy route finding. Snow is getting soft so wake up VERY early to profit any overnight crustiness, or else you may wallow and curse. It is a fun day in the mountains and great conditions now - why wait until August when it will be broken up and nasty? Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Pics?? That side of the ridgeline is spectacular Quote
tanstaafl Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Here are a few pics for you: Washout on the hike in Fern chilling out in Boston Basin Rap down to Boston Glacier Crossing the glacier NF Buckner Ridgeline Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Wow! NF Buckner looks like its already melted out for the season. Thanks for the pics :tup: Quote
rob Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 hey, nice -- someone put a ladder over the washout. Climbing over that thing (sans ladder) in the rain was kinda fun, though. Nice trip Quote

AlpineK Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I knew you ladies had done that route, but it's nice to see the pictures. Quote
pms Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 how about a summit shot, and maybe one showing that sweet forbidden rock Quote
skykilo Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Alpine girls kick ass Hear, hear! Fern: Surly, succinct, svelte... Edited July 5, 2007 by skykilo Quote
Off_White Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 That's been one of my favorite outings in the Cascades. It's not that the climbing is so brilliant or it's an earthshattering route, but the total package is such a delicious trip. Did you descend the West Ridge? That way down makes for a great circumnavigation of the peak. Thanks for the pics, the snowy ridge shot is just classic. Quote
skykilo Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Wow! NF Buckner looks like its already melted out for the season. Thanks for the pics :tup: TROLL, it still looks skiable. Quote
tanstaafl Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Sorry Jim, I took no summit shots and my one shot of the rock is lousy. Maybe Fern has some good ones. Off, yeah we downclimbed and rapped the West Ridge. I was swearing a lot as I rapped six inches, threw the ropes, rapped six inches, threw the ropes....hah. Quote
alpineyeti Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Good job guys, been on the list for a few years now! How many days out? Quote
G-spotter Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Alpine girls kick ass ass kicking alpine girlz are aid Quote
