kevino Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Trip: Teanaway River Rd - Pt 6494 and Longs Pass Date: 5/10/2011 Trip Report: After my rock climbing bailed monday night I opted to head up the Teanaway River rd and see what I could do solo. Being lazy I didn't get too early of start, but good thing the road is only 20 minutes from ellensburg! Anyway, I parked about 3.5 miles short of the Esmeralda Basin TH. The first mile it was spotty coverage, then I was able to put on my skis and skin the rest of the way. There is a 100+ft avalanche over the road (with a fair amount of debris) so that'll take a while to melt. About 3-4 ft of snow at the TH. Being lazy (and out of shape), I topped out on Pt 6494, which is just a little bit south of Longs Pass. I then skied its NW face then climbed back up to Longs Pass. Then skied all way back to the TH and eventually back to my car. Incredibly nice day to be out! My sunburn proves it. Random photos to follow…. Late spring skinning problems: Avy over the road: Esmerlda Pk STUART! Anyone want to ski this next week? Thurs and friday? Rainier Ingalls Approach Notes: truck with clearance helps getting passed some washouts and snowbanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevino Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dave, are you busy with fire stuff still? John, it looked like you could see the SE face of South Ingalls. But yeah, that'd be something else, skiing a rock route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
