Haven't done a personal trip since June! Larches changing meant it was long overdue to get out again.
I'll let the pics talk.
After setting camp in the Carne Basin I went up to Carne Lookout via Old Gib trail and traversed over to Carne Mountain proper.
IMG_8644 Carne Trail First look back My favorite sign! Carne to Lookout site traverse red and gold more red and gold upper meadow snow on Chiwawa! Buck strikes out Ice Box Cilly con Carne
For peak bagging types. Ice Box 8109' to Chilly Peak 7968' was a joyous Class 3/4 crestline scramble traverse. Two scramble bypasses to avoid Class 5 descents were easy to locate, and solid. One off the north side, one off the south. That brought me to Pt. 7800+ on the ridge apex of Rock Creek/Box Cr divide. The SE ridge descent (incorrectly labelled "NE" on above map, sorry) was going classic solid class 3 until a vertical step which forced me to climb back up 150 feet and detour descenders right into a solid quartz gully. Then back up th eridge crest to Pt 7919'. From there I spied the cool looking granite west face slabs of Chilly and traversed to its base. Impeccable class 3, maybe a touch of class 4 slab to the summit.
Very worthwhile.

Lovely! Matt, Iron, Carrie and Carla are hot on your heels. They made their way in today for the same peaks. Colors are spectacular. Thanks for the route info.

Nothing like picking the hard way from point A to B. But a lot less elevation loss+gain than staying on the normal high route.

It is all optical illusion for drama, b00. Seriously, you run up stuff all the time that has me envious!
