Blake Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Trip: North Cascades Ramble - Tempestuous Traverse Date: 8/22/2007 Trip Report: Dan (Dannible) and I did a trip through part of the National Park recently which was meant to be the starting leg of a much longer link-up, but we basically got stormed off and had a wet hitch-hike to Mt. Vernon. There were some pretty views anyways, we'll have to get after it again some year when summer actually remembers to make an appearance. Dan on day 2: Nice Views on hiking section: Some nice creek valley: Finally getting some climbing in: Don't harass the wildlife: Scamperin' around: Weather Moving In: This means it's time to go home: Thanks MythosGrl for the drop off and pizza! Gear Notes: Any advice on getting out of a $75 camping permit ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannible Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Someone should guess where that first picture was taken. We know that someone knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurserock Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Having, along with my wife and daughter, run in to the two of you at the crossing of Maple Creek on 8/14, I believe I have an excellent guess as to where that first picture was taken, but won't spoil it for others. I would like to hear what the climbing was like. Hiking, you say? I had a feeling you hadn't bothered with the permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to hear what the climbing was like. Hiking, you say? Yep, I think you know where we were. The route that we talked about would have taken more time than we expected, so we ended at a subsummit and went on our way. The reason I was asking if someone could guess is that we suspect that someone else was up there shortly before us. The part of our traverse that we got through was mostly hiking, easy rock, and snow. The real climbing was to come in the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurserock Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Looks like great fun. I did manage to figure out the view in those last couple of pictures too. You ranged far! Will look forward to the TR of the completed traverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexus Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Nice clean pictures. I especially like the one with the clouds hanging around like spectres. Your second and third pics gave it away. Good luck getting after it this weekend. I look forward to reading the completed tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 This is a good picture for describing Doug's Direct (of Jo'burg fame) if you are using it to approach the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sverdina Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Based on the photo (#2) of the approach to Horseshoe Basin, I'm guessing that the first photo is taken somewhere on Buckner?? Perhaps that obvious ridge/buttress right of the Davenport? Ripsaw Ridge? Edited August 23, 2007 by sverdina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I see I called it correctly, http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=721583&PHPSESSID=3e3a840f4705ae8d9a8629e5b5734d63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannible Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yep, good call. Someone left a rap sling that looked really new close to where we bailed, so I was interested to see if anyone here would say that they had been up there.
