The True and False Summit
Josh this image is my favorite. Your photography always surpasses everyone else. Also, I can tell each time we go hiking that you've gotten a little stronger. Michael is really strong too. I know he was getting over a recent illness but he kept getting those bursts of energy. I thought he was going to wait for us in the saddle but then I turned around and he had come all that way and was right behind us. Great job on the trip report!

Could you folks label all the peaks in your photos for me, thanks.
John
Kidding! Great shots, especially the clarity of the zoom shots. For example: the pic labeled "Monte Cristo Peaks" by Flow actually shows the illegal wilderness highmarking going on by snowmobiles on the north side of Jove Peak. (lower left corner of pic)

I just found out that what we thought of as Point 7132 and as a false summit is actually know as North Chiwaukum. Check Peakbagger if you don't believe me. I'm going to make a page for it on summitpost.

Nice Photos Gimpilator and EastKing! We all did good!

Thanks, it most certainly was! If this weekend has good weather and good conditions I plan on having a even bigger adventure!
Movenhike wrote: | Wayout Pics, Looks Epic, seriously some nice photos in there!! |
Thanks, they were fun to take up there, I remember wanting to take more, but I was much focused on the trip itself and getting down at a decent time.

The ridge was wonderful, at first had some worry to it, but found out it wasn't too terribly exposed, although I was plunging my ice axe nice and deep.

Thanks Collin, we got to get together again on another trip soon! The highest point I've been up this winter... so far.

I'm pretty sure you will get your chance this winter if you organize some members, say I would be willing to go back if someone from the West side was willing to have me come along.

We figured you were busy going up Mount Goblin.

That is a new record for me, but that is perhaps soon to be the casual, I hope soon to be taking the rank "Iron Jr."

Thanks! I gotta keep up with my runs so I can break trail the whole time.

Sounds like it was a very awesome trip.
If you ever head to the south sound area, and need some more people....toss me a pm.... |
Glad to hear that there getting better. I meant it to be like this last year, but when Eastking and everyone else became busy, and I was all out of hikes, I started to go crazy. I went week after week after week without any adventure, and it got to the point where I became quite desparate, so if I requested a Rainier trip people would finally reply and that is where some of the action took off.
Now I am changed, am a responsible hiker and would not let temptation of a summit put me or my team in a lot of danger, which is why I was fine wether we summit or not on this trip.
As for your offer, my transportaion if I am not with someone else is usually a bus and as far as I know Puyallup is about as close as I can get to Carbonado, although I suppose I could bike the rest of the distance. I was wanting to go to Camp Sherman, or atleast near it sometime from now to spring or I could settle for another hike idea.

Just kidding, it's wonderful to read these new and improved trip reports from you Flow. I believe you've found a solid & compatible group to share your mountain ambitions with. Keep it up! |
Agreed, having great partners makes all the diffrence in the world, when I go out, I often hope not only to have people skilled, knowledgeable, responsible, ect but also I like having them be my friends. I've went out with people who were not so friend like before, which the results were not so great.
BearQueen wrote: | Awesome TR and pics! Pretty incredible!! Now I know why EastKing wanted to go there. |
Indeed! Perhaps one of these days I might be able to join you on a trip.

Thanks Gimpilator! I loved the purples while we were up there with the shadows, something I don't think you will ever see on the smaller peaks, or atleast not like this.

I'll see what I can do, as it was it took me a few hours or so to put the trip report together with all the photos and videos and such. I'm glad other members can label as well which is a decent feature.

Glad to hear, as I may have said before, if just one person enjoyed my writting and photos, it was worth posting! This year is gonna be a good year!

Beautiful trip.
Am I now the only person on this site who hasn't done Middle Chiwaukum?
I especially liked the little group of rimed trees surrounded by their own wind gallery.

There's a few that haven't...for instance, I know GeoTom would like to get to the top some day.
And while JustTodd and I have, we'd go again. It was a fun peak.
Neat to see some pics of the summit this year...looked a little different last February...I always like comparison photos...

And we even got to sign the summit register at the top.

It would have been a little scetch wether or not Holly could have done it. Holly would have to be very careful going up the last section.

Just for fun, here are a couple of shots of HP7130 from Scottish Lakes Highcamp area. They call it "Baldy".
Lake basins and Baldy from High Country road. Our turn around point at 6,700ft.

It seems interesting that even though so many people are claiming this to be a low snowfall year we had way more snow than last year at elevations above 6000' and way less below 3000'. Compare the photos. It really screws with trip planning and makes for unique conditions. I think some serious stuff is going on with our climate that is slightly disturbing.
