Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July!
From July 4-8, Brian Walkenhauer and I enjoyed 5 days in the Chilliwack Group. We climbed five Top 100 summits in five days: Spickard, Rahm, Custer, Redoubt, and SE Mox. Full Trip Report: I've posted a full trip report (maps, route overlays, about 100 photos, commentary, and the adventures of a tiny stuffed mountain goat) on my website. Unfortunately, because of the way I have formatted it, I cannot directly copy and paste my html into nwhikers, so you'll have to go to my website to see the photos. http://www.stephabegg.com/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/chilliwackslam Map of Travels:
GPS tracks of our 5 day adventure on the Chilliwack Slam

Amazing TR! Thanks for doing this! I want to learn how to do those overlays on the photos, and how to do the excellent map.

Nice accomplishment and terrific trip report - wish I had it two summers ago when we went up to do the Moxie Twins. We got the road right but only climbed NW Mox which, surprisingly, has pretty decent rock. Saw Stefan's name as the last one in the summit register. There appeared to be several Mox outliers that even John Roper hadn't climbed.
