Verticolorful Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Trip: Cascade Pass - Johannesberg Mountain, Northeast Buttress Date: 7/15/2012 Trip Report: This was my first trip into the alpine outside of the Stuart Range, so as Jens and I sped along the dark road to Cascade Pass I drempt of a super long route on solid white granite... This was not quite what i encountered. I have been wanting to see what i could fit into a solid day in the alpine. When Jens contacted me about doing the Torment-Forbidden traverse or J-berg in a day, i was thrilled for the challenge. Snow conditions helped us decide to take the long decent back around Mixup Peak. I considered this a beautiful tour of the North Cascades. We started around 6am and got back to the car right before midnight. I had never felt so mentally taxed from anything elese as i did the next morning. Spending so much time in the "no fall zone" was an intresting experience, but all experiences on the mountains offer a great deal of learning. We started to the right of the waterfalls. Jens starting our Simu-climb Approach Notes: Avoid large falling ice from the JC glacier. Quote

Buckaroo Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Mitocondria, Brad, and I did the CJ couloir yesterday. The snow was perfect. A lot more firm than what it looks like in your pics, no postholing. Quote
