jport Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Trip: Inner Constance - West Face Variation Date: 6/21/2008 Trip Report: A little late, but here it is: June 21-22 two student members of Explorer Post 58 and two adult advisors (including myself) climbed Inner Constance via a variation of route #4 in the Olympics Climbing Guide book. We biked from the road closure to the start of the "route" to Lake Constance. Camped the night at the lake. Approached the climbing route through Avalanche Canyon, then ascended a mix of snow slopes and gravelly ledges to a saddle in the Northeast Ridge. From there, a gentle snow slope led to the summit block. We easily scrambled to the top. Descended the same route. Packed up camp. Hiked the "route" back down (sketchy in sections... be careful not to lose your way). Coasted on our bikes back to the car. Arrived in Portland around 12:30 Monday morning. Yet another successful trip for some adventurous teens! Pics: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/503/medium/002ii.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazyboy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sounds hellish, not being able to drive to the R.V. camp. Give it a rest. This is a trip report not the access forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
