rbwen Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have this friend...(honestly) ...he asked if there were scramble routes to the top of Stuart. Having never climbed it, I don't know. If there are, are they chossy, death-filled boulder gullies? Snow fields? Moderate walk-ups? Are there names for any specific routes? Thanks! rbwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrogdortheBurninator Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The cascadian couloir is the most popular scramble route and also the most common descent. It is mostly a scree gully this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I just came down it this weekend. Watch the loose scree around the snowfield. Especially watch if there is anyone above you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinfox Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 CC is not that bad you whiners. Go "climb" the fourteeners in CO if you want true scree suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordansahls Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The only thing worse than going down the Cascadian, is climbing up it, and then going back down. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotly Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I actually enjoyed coming down the CC. If I'd had my trekking poles, woulda been easier on the joints though. Suck in spots but good views: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbingPanther Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 doesn't look like cc to me... is that the lower-angle variation farther east? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Thats the gulley to the west of CC. Cut right off the rounded tree-covered mound at about 7K. If you are going out Longs Pass it is the best bet. It drops you straight at the Longs Pass trail. There is a trail on most of it and a lot of sand so it is a softer descent.

spotly Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) I followed this down to the brush you see at the bottom. There's a trail running through the trees to the right of that brush which takes you to Ingalls Creek trail. From there, Longs Pass cutoff is roughly a mile west. We actually went into the next gully east of this and it was directly below Sherpa. The bottom - Ingalls Creek trail about a hundred yards further: Edited September 19, 2007 by spotly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
