Trip: Mt. Thompson - west ridge

 

Date: 8/14/2011

 

Trip Report:

7.6 mile and 4.5 hour hike to ridge lake where we camped. Next morning was rainy and foggy but cleared up on the 1.6 mile hike to base. 4 hour rock climb to summit and back to the car at 10:30 pm for a 12 hour day. Plenty of snow crossings still. trekking poles or ice axe recommended.
