Blake Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Trip: Twin Sisters - Various Date: 6/24/2008 Trip Report: On the solstice a trio of B-hammers set out to do do a tour of the Twin Sisters peaks. Pretty nice that we didn't have to go broke on fuel costs. The summits are only ~20 miles from the ocean! We went up a bit of the W ridge of the N twin in fog and clouds, then dropped down into the basin between the peaks. From there it was up the W ridge of the South Twin, down the NE ridge, and onto the glacier. As weather cleared a bit we figured out where we were before descending down the wrong side of the range, and got back on track. From the glacier we climbed up the North Twin Sister via the SE Ridge, then down the West ridge to our bikes. It was a really fun tour, very rambly and scrambly. We brought too much stuff and didn't end up needing any gear except for one short rappel across a schrund. One anonymous member of our party took the first wrong turn on his bike and ended up 12 miles in the wrong direction before some local homesteaders in Acme took pity on him and drove him back around to the car just in time for us to reach the Beer Shrine before it closed.
