KaskadskyjKozak Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Trip: Tomyhoi Peak - SE Ridge (Standard) Date: 9/8/2013 Trip Report: Tomyhoi is mostly a walkup with one short, exposed class 3 section. The setting and views are pretty awesome and worthy of making the trip. I did it C2C with 3 friends yesterday. We hit the Beer Shrine afterwards to make for a perfect September day. Yellow Aster Lakes: SB and MM ascending the short snow traverse to attain an notch in the ridge: SB on the most exposed section of the ridge: N Cascade glory from near the summit ridge of Tomyhoi: KK and MM on the summit: MM and PG downclimbing class 3 to a notch: Canadian Border Peak and American Border Peak above the Tomyhoi Glacier: Gear Notes: Ice axe. Crampons were nice for the short snow traverse. Approach Notes: Gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaskadskyjKozak Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I love this scramble. Did you meet any troublesome goats on route? No goats at all - just some traces of their poo. Tons of people hiking the trail to the lakes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsandsound Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I love this scramble. Did you meet any troublesome goats on route? No goats at all - just some traces of their poo. Tons of people hiking the trail to the lakes though I climbed tommyhoi last month and there was a goat standing guard with her kid at the notch when I was making my descent. I could not convince her to move with shouts, handwaving, or small rocks in their direction. So I waited them out for 10 minutes or so till they got bored and took off. Maybe she just wanted some good sodium, but I don't trust goats, especially not during a solo venture. I was there during midweek and there were many people overnighting and day hiking at the lakes.
