Trip: Darrington - Cornucopia, The Kone, Broad Daylight

 

Date: 5/24/2008

 

Trip Report:

Friend James and I decided to take a couple mtn bikes up the Clear Creek 2060 road to see conditions and hopefully prove the forecasters wrong by climbing warm sunny granite.

The initial slide path near Frog Lake:

After many variations of throwing, dragging, and kicking of bikes over downed trees, we decided to ditch the wheels and hoof it from Asbestos Creek.

Soon we were able to view Exfoliation Dome in the morning sunlight- what a sight-

Easy road hiking was quickly replaced by up to several feet of slush

A real treat in my lite mesh trail runners

Near the culvert at 8 Mile creek:

The trail that starts in an old roadbed has hundreds of blow downs carefully laid in a manner to cause much gnashing of teeth.

The lower section will need quite a bit of work to restore.

Billy Bob the Dog was pleased to end the torture at the base

We climbed Cornucopia, The Kone, and Til Broad Daylight- 8 pitches in all- 75 degree sunny all day!

Looks like the avy path will melt out in a few weeks, anyone up for a chainsaw party?

I'm back from Owyhee. I want to cut up some shit!, if the "Big Meat" can't make it down the road, there is some serious work to be done. Also please post pictures of the Stickets in the Pickets testing thread.
