Wow, what a great report and pictures! The self-flagellation for abandoning your dad to bag peaks is pretty funny, too. Congratulations to both of you on an amazing trip.

Wow! Great trip Yana. Your dad is adorable! Too bad the Copper Ridge thingy didn't work out, but drier is better in my book. Great alternate choice. Very nice.

Thank you all for the comments. It's hard to adequately narrate an 8 day trip, so I'm glad the highlights ended up being entertaining.

Wow, that's an impressively thorough traverse of the Chelan Sawtooths. I've haven't seen a report from anyone doing it from the Lake Chelan side before.
I like this approach. Past the initial few miles, it is pretty lonely (and does not necessitate a car shuttle, which is nice).

I'm not sure what to make of this, but it's pretty damn funny. P.S. He peruses nwhikers on a regular basis. ActionBetty - I'm very lucky in that regard. I wouldn't love the mountains the way I do had he not introduced me to them in the first place. My first mountain outings were as a baby, when he would haul me around in a backpack. Apparently, I really enjoyed napping in it.

PLAY SAFE! SKI ONLY IN CLOCKWISE DIRECTION! LET'S ALL HAVE FUN TOGETHER!

Nice job getting your Dad to scramble up all of those peaks with you!...I'm still working on my dad. He almost went to the top of Earl with me earlier this year, almost. wink.gif

I can only hope that someday my daughter asks me to go on a 73 mile hike through the hills!

Very nice, that is a bomber area up.gif . That Dad photo looks like he is climbing rather horizontally, maybe pulling himself along the trail. winksmile.gif

Yana - Great report! I love this area. Big, spacious mountains, pretty lakes, views and usually drier weather. Thanks for giving an update on the fire damaged trails. Flora

Traverse from Prince Creek to Stehekin
Did it twice in early 1980's. Comments were submitted together with my field sketches to support wilderness designation. It was a big assist according to Mike Lowry, who was at Congress at the time and sent a congradulatory letter. There was little conflict since most of the focus of the Wilderness Act was on other WA areas up for designation. Sort of flew "under the radar". It IS a fab area! Love your photos of the high peaks...was fun to do similar "peak bagging" back 20 years plus ago. Had a "freeze-out" at Juanita Lake area...temps fell from 70's to 20's or colder and froze the stream one early August night. I "caught" a bad case of shivers and gave up idea of food and just snuggled to get warm after a long day of hiking shirtless over the high country. Funny...I'd not dare do the shirtless thing, now....LOL!

Basically, your guess is right up.gif . Yana’s intent – as long as this particular photo is concerned – was to make a photo joke. If I am not wrong, she took this picture while we were going up Mt Bigelow. Our ascent was certainly far from being vertical (it was also far from being flat and there was no trail). This is the only joke in the whole report… Otherwise, we joked a lot during our trip, and we had great time (although I am sure many of you would not like to hear some of *my* jokes naughty.gif nono.gif ). Yana is lucky to live in the Seattle area because of all the mountains, and she is even luckier to be in a company of people like you, guys. I am happy for her… and I am a bit envious because I do not think a forum like this exists in where I live in Southern California (please, let me know if I am wrong).
