lukeh Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Trip: The Enchantments - In a Day Date: 6/29/2014 Trip Report: Went with my gf to the Leavenworth Rockfest the other weekend. My right elbow is injured so I needed to keep myself busy during the day. I started at the Stuart Lake trailhead and was in the upper enchantments in just under 2.5 hours. Aasgard was clear of snow, but the Enchantments themselves still had a lot of snow. I postholed a lot near rock boundaries and slipped a bit - almost rolled my ankle more than a few times. Just below Lake Vivian the snow stops and it's clear back to the Snow Lake trailhead. Didn't bring much - my phone, a coat, some spikes just in case (didn't need), and some gu/blocks + 2-ish liters of water. Took a few phone pics but mostly kept moving. Larger pics on Facebook. Gear Notes: Brought spikes, didn't use. Brought a whippet, probably just needed a pole or two. Approach Notes: No snow until the Enchantments proper. Edited July 7, 2014 by lukeh Quote
olyclimber Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Nice, thanks for posting. These reports are great because they can help people know what the current conditions are...not to mention just general stoke. Hope your elbow heals up soon. Quote
