Trip: Teanaway Peak - South Ridge

 

Date: 6/28/2008

 

Trip Report:

A few of us headed up the snag Teanaway Peak Saturday. From the TH to the pass between Teanaway and Iron Peak was mostly dry with a small stretch of mud and two small patches of snow. From the pass, we headed counterclockwise till we ran into a steep snowfield. Since the girls weren't prepared for the snow, we stuck to a rock rib past mostly 3rd class loose stuff. A few 4th class moves forced us onto the snow. From the ridge to the summit was more 2nd and 3rd. I think the route would have been easier had we crossed the snow lower down and slogged up the tree-line slope on the other side. The views were terrific - a good spot to scope out conditions of surrounding peaks and plan for future summits.
