tvashtarkatena Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Trip: Pasayten Wilderness: Bald, Andrew, Peepsight - Date: 10/14/2007 Trip Report: “Peepsight, Bald, and Andrew? What, are you guys making a gay porn flick?” This weekend my friend Jess and I headed east for a three day Pasayten ramble. Jess had never tagged a Cascade summit before, so when the forecast improved, off we went. Other than one woman hunting a hundred yards from the car, and three gunshots, we had the place to ourselves. Night time temperatures ranged from 36 to 28 F, with about a foot of patchy snow on north facing or shaded terrain above 6500 ft. We chased a fox on the drive in, but other than that, the only critters we saw were birds and insects. Jess on Bald. Cathedral and Amphitheatre in the distance Larches from the SW ridge of Andrew The Bears feelin’ strong on Andrew A bear feeling his way up Crazy Man Pass Our-Dollar’s-Worth-More-Than-Yours Mountain. Canada from Peepsight Pine sapling after the burn. Andrew Creek Fireweed. Andrew Creek Fireweed. Andrew Creek Blueberry. Andrew Creek Blueberry. Andrew Creek Willow. Andrew Creek Homeward bound.

tvashtarkatena Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) With some effort. The horsies have done a number on it. It's 3700' of gain up to Andrew Pass. Edited October 16, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah, that's right. No bikes allowed in the Pasayten. 1200 pound horsies are fine, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klenke Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Actually, this is Sheep Mountain and it's in the United States, but only just barely (by a mile). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylou Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nice pics, Tvash. I'm terribly disappointed that it wasn't cold enough for either of you to wear my ultra-gay lavender puffy coat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you, Klenke! And I've even mounted that Sheep on a previous trip.... Edited October 17, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexus Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I always look forward to your posts and your flora and fauna pics. And I think your friend is stronger than my hometown Bears. (groan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm prolly going back midweek next week for another round when the weather calms down a bit. From Sunday on is supposed to be OK in that area.

Stefan Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 is that trail mtnbikeable? Wilderness. I know that. But lets theorize. Is it a good trail to mountainbike on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
