[TR] South Twin - West Ridge 8/19/2012

Trip: South Twin - West Ridge

 

Date: 8/19/2012

 

Trip Report:

Scrambled up the west ridge with Adam (gimpilator of Summitpost) and Greg; some fog around 4000 feet but high clouds and party sunny above. An all-around excellent route, fun scrambling after an approach by bike and a short, brushy trail. Final approach to the summit along the crest looked intimidating, so we traversed a short ways, crossing a small snow field and ascending via a class three gully w/ some loose rock.

Nice photos, glad to see you and Adam made it up there. Wish I could have been there. I assumed it was an overnight trip which tomorrow I have a trip to the Ptarmigan Traverse.
