Steph_Abegg Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Trip: Chilliwack Slam - Spickard, Rahm, Custer, Redoubt, SE Mox Date: 7/4/2012 Trip Report: =Happy 4th of July! From July 4-8, Brian Walkenhauer and I enjoyed 5 days in the Chilliwack Group. We climbed five Top 100 summits in five days: Spickard, Rahm, Custer, Redoubt, and SE Mox. Full Trip Report: I've posted a full trip report (maps, route overlays, about 100 photos, commentary, and the adventures of a tiny stuffed mountain goat) on my website. Unfortunately, because of the way I have formatted it, I cannot directly copy and paste my html into cascadeclimbers, so you'll have to go to my website to see the photos. http://www.stephabegg.com/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/chilliwackslam Map of Travels: Day 1: Depot Creek TH (2300 ft) to Lake Ouzel (5700 ft), climb Spickard (8879 ft, #16, via South Slope) 6580+ ft elev. gain, 6:15 Car to Lake, 2:30 Lake to Summit, 1:10 Summit to Lake Day 2: Climb Rahm (8478 ft, #60, via SW Route) and Custer (8630 ft, #39, traverse from Rahm, descend South Ridge) 4150+ ft elev. gain/loss, 3:20 Lake to Rahm, 2:45 Rahm to Custer, 2:00 Custer to Lake Day 3: Move camp to head of Redoubt Glacier (7200 ft), climb Redoubt (8969 ft, #18, via South Route) 4300+ ft elev. gain/loss, 2:00 Lake Ouzel to Redoubt Glacier Camp, 2:30 Camp to Summit, 1:35 Summit to Camp Day 4: Climb SE Mox (8509 ft, #56, from West) 4000+ ft elev. gain/loss, 5:30 Camp to Summit, 3:00 Summit to Camp, (6:00 r.t. from Col of the Wild) Day 5: Hike Out 9.1 miles, 5720+ ft elev. loss, 5:50 Camp to Car A great trip!

LukeShy Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Amazing trip report Steph! Thanks for all of the hard work putting together all of the cool route overlays and beta sheets. I'm sure I'll be using them when I head in there this year. Great night time photos too! Any reason you didn't go for NW Mox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Nice! That Spickard / Redoubt area is a special place. Not a bad way to spend 5 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nene Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Congratulations and great job on your grand slam! And the Chilliwack weather gods smiled on you. Just got back from climbing Hard Mox for the second time and suggest the red line of ascent shown in your picture from the base of the standard w face route is not quite accurate. I also say this from looking at the next picture on your website of Brian at the top of the snow finger in the gully. His location in that photo coincides with the finger of snow in the center right of the first photo. Note the small cave at the top of the snow finger and the white rock layers extending left from the top of the snow finger in both photos. Our scramble ascent followed the crack that moves up and left directly from above and to the left of where your red line begins. Then we connected with your red line approximately just before it goes from dotted to solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptownclimber Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Awesome! Did you consider a Spickard-Redoubt traverse (or the other direction)? Do you think it's do-able? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
