Ed_Hobbick Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Trip: Alpine Lakes (Alpental) - Improbable Traverse Date: 10/2/2010 Trip Report: Alarm went off, hit snooze, alarm went off again, rolled out-a bed. Met with Karl Shmid at the trail head. The traverse looked impossible at first. Karl said that it was probably possible. I said that I kind of doubted that but would give it a try anyhow. After finding the correct line across (go out about fifteen feet, up about 10 feet and then over to the the ramp) we made it across. It looked to be roughly 5 or 10 thousand feet down. Sickness factor: 7.5http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/504/medium/Guye_Peak_014.JPG[/i Edited October 4, 2010 by Ed_Hobbick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
