Mount Lago and Ptarmigan Peak
Climbed Mount Lago and Ptarmigan Peak after a tough return to the North Cascades—chossy ridges, remote lakes, and wild terrain.
Peak List: Bulgers
Osceola and Carru
Early-season climb of Osceola Peak and Mount Carru in Washington’s Pasayten Wilderness. Snow travel, route-finding, and lessons learned.
Silver Star Mountain
Silver Star mountain is a good mix of scrambling and glacier climbing for a one day push. Good camping available to stretch out the climb
Sahale and Boston
Sahale mountain and Boston peak are a perfect two peaks for chaining together on one trip. Two excellent scrambles seperated by a steep traverse
Mount Fernow
Mount Fernow is a tough mountain to reach with a lot of both elevation gain and loss. The summit view is worth every step though.
Cathedral and Amphitheatre
Cathedral and Amphitheatre make an excellent combo for knocking off two peaks. Very close with a straightforward traverse route.
Clark Mountain
Clark mountain looks easy on paper, but it can be a monster of an adventure. Opt for a lightweight to spread the climb over a couple of days
South Spectacle Butte
South Spectacle is tough to reach, covered in loose rock, and a fine goal for anyone in for a type 2 suffer fest.
Dumbell, Greenwood, 7 Finger Jack, Mount Maude
climbing all of these peaks along with two smaller ones in a three day span was quite the adventure
Fortress and Chiwawa Mountains
An exhausting very remote climb of Fortress and Chiwawa mountains in Washington’s Central Cascades
