Tom_Sjolseth Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Trip: Holden to Stehekin Traverse - Bannock and Gunsight (7/21-25, 2013) Date: 7/21/2013 Trip Report: Carla S and I just returned from a 5-day high traverse from Holden to Stehekin. From Holden, we camped at Cloudy Pass on day 1. On day 2 we went over Suiattle Pass, then up and over Miner’s Ridge down into the Hanging Gardens at the head of Sulphur Creek to camp above Canyon Lake. Day 3 we dropped to Canyon Lake, climbed Bannock Mountain, and traversed to a camp at Ross Pass. Day 4 brought us to Gunsight Peak which we climbed by its S Face (5.8). Day 5 we dropped back into Agnes Creek and walked back to High Bridge. We carried heavy packs the whole time (mine was 68 pounds without water on day 1 according to the scale on the boat dock). The insects were terrible, but the weather and views were perfect. We had a great trip. Photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley81 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's crazy to think that I was in the same area climbing the same mountain and didn't even think any else could be around, when in fact one of the people who practically served as a guide for my trip climbed the same route within days of my group. Thanks for the stoke and the beta Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
