After two days of getting scared and being out of my element rock climbing in the Liberty Bell Group last week, I was ready for another hike and scramble. Beth, Jake and I left Bellingham early on Wednesday morning and made good time out to Mosquito Lake Road. We then made exceptional time from the gate at the Middle Fork Nooksack to the climbers trail that climbs into the basin below North and South Twin. 
 old cabin remains  South Twin first look  an exposed move on our route to the ridge  tightening the laces  so fun  all smiles  awesome up there  enjoying the summit

Well done! After doing North Twin I was given the impression that South Twin required rock climbing. I think I will need to go back and tag that one now that I know better

The open book is memorable, even after 30 years. I understand it is avoidable by traversing out on the sw slope. I thought at the time that S Twin W Ridge was every bit as aesthetic as N Twin's W Ridge. Long sustained scrambling. I didn't take a camera so it is nice to see this TR. I doubt it will lead to a flood of activity, but lovers of scrambles should take notice.

My trip to South Twin Sister was foiled by a humungous overhanging cornice on a late-spring traverse from North peak 19 years ago. We were approaching via the glacier on the east side. This report has me thinking I'd like to go back and stick to the rock.
