Trip: Cinderella Peak -

 

Date: 4/23/2012

 

Trip Report:

Due to snow I parked about a mile from Elbow Lk trailhead. Logs are still in place over river and trail is in good shape with patchy snow untill about 2800 ft. I left the trail at the first clearing where I could see the mountains.

I dropped down to the creek and was able to skin the rest of the way maintain a level elevation until I was in the Green Creek basin below the Mythic Wall, 2 hrs 15 min. From there I gained the ridge lookers left of the Green Creek Clacier and ascended to the summit. It was so hot I stripped down to my underware, lukily no one was around (I got fried). Made it to the summit in 5 hrs. Maybe the fasted summit in the Sisters range and no logging roads.

Snowboarded 3000ft down, then gained the ridge above Lk Wiseman and snowboarded down to the lake. Back up to the ridge E of the lake and back to Elbow lake trail.

Great photos. Looks like a good way to spend a Monday. Your pooch looks like he got a good workout too.
