KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Trip: Dumbell and Greenwood - Standards Date: 8/2/2015 Trip Report: Last weekend I took my boys backpacking up to the upper Phelps Basin camp (just past the Spider Gap turnoff on the Phelps Trail). My youngest and I summited Dumbell and Greenwood mountains just before they announced the larger fire closure area for the Wolverine fire, which we could see billowing smoke. Upper Phelps Basin: Boys bouldering rock and Mountain House dining table: Cliff bands below Dumbell. We took an exposed route through the 1st cliff band going up and a loose gully through the second. An intervening hard patch of snow warranted crampons for a few feet only. Above the second cliff band: Scrambling high on Dumbell: Greenwood from Dumbell: Summit stoke on Dumbell Mountain. Bonanza pano: Negotiating the bulge on the infamous exposed class 2 ledge to Greenwood: View of Dumbell from Greenwood (S summit): My son traversing the snowfield from the Dumbell-Greenwood col. Crampons made the going easier for him and added to the experience. Gear Notes: Ice axe, helmet Approach Notes: Snow free until very high up, then just a few patches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
