Trip: guye-snoqualmie-lundin-red : commonwealth traverse - traverse

 

Date: 10/26/2008

 

Trip Report:

Attempted to link up all the commonwealth basin peaks.

 

Slippery 4th class up obscure route on east side of guye. 3rd class up snoqualmie to its sharp eastern summit. lovely 4th class up lundin west ridge, 3rd class down lundin east ridge. fun but loose ridge top over to red, then fun but loose 3rd class up red.

 

Traversing east down red was less fun and more loose. Trying to reach the un-named granitic peak just west of the PCT, encountered a steep cliff band. Without a rope for rappel, this forced us far down into the basin, preventing a true continuous traverse.

 

We had planned for the unnamed granitic peak and then kendall to complete the traverse, but alas!

 

 

Gear Notes:

to complete the commonwealth traverse (clockwise) a rappel is necessary going east from red. The only gear would be a light rope for this one spot and a sling to leave on one lucky mountain hemlock.
