PLC Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Trip: Washington Pass - Liberty Bell, South Early Winters Date: 6/20/2009 Trip Report: Just a quick update on the approaches to the Liberty Bell group: 1. Blue Lake Trail - the trail has been destroyed by a massive avalanche about 1 mile from the trailhead. When you come to the avalanche debris, don't cross. Instead, head straight uphill through the trees to the left of the avalanche. You'll soon come across the trail again (it switch-backs under the debris). Either continue on the trail at this point, or switch to the debris field, which has good snow. 2. Hairpin - from the hairpin, there is still good snow for 90% of the approach, but there are a couple steps of steep mud/creek/gravel.

PLC Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Becky Route on Liberty Bell and the Southwest Buttress on South Early Winters Spire. Both are obviously super stellar routes and anyone can find plenty of beta online. The only thing to note is that there's a bolted rappel station on Liberty Bell that might be missed if you don't know to look for it.

Macson Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 My friend Bob and I were up there on Friday, climbed the Becky Route. Nasty avy path up there. We bush whacked through it for 100 yards or so before figuring out that the trail was still in existence in the woods to the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
