I'd repeat Nooksack Tower a third time if you're interested! I'd be interested in going further though, to Seahpo and then Ruth via the complete Jagged Ridge Traverse. This September???
Eric, can't wait to get out this summer and make our plans happen.

Wow! Very impressive effort. Do you recommend rock shoes for the 5.6?
It's all downhill from here!

if you need to ask (for this particular peak), you probably shouldn't go...

Thanks Tom. All the Dawgs have done S Hozo and I can't talk anyone else into it! Considering a solo, but put off by the unprotectable 5.6. Interested in the Nooksack to Seapho traverse if you can't find another victim.

Wow, Eric! Very impressed by your story and photos. I've hiked with some folks who have done the south peak and they didn't have anything good to say about it.

the best part about the crux pitch is that it has the least exposure on the ridge climb. once you figure out the tough somewhat bulging rock move mid way up (6'-8') the holds get better and the small danger is pretty much over. although it would never be fun to fall (probably land on your feet), the ledge would catch you. btw, I didn't use or even bring rock shoes, just my regular hiking boots

Quite confident that S Hozo is well within Trents abilities. With or without the rock shoes.

Man, I guess! Eric, you amaze all of us hillwalkers. My knees would be knocking together on that one.
As iron said, and I implied earlier, why do you have " camping gear."
You should try a 100. You could kick most of us runners
