I came onto this lake topic somewhat late. Who is this MacBathtub anyway? Never heard of him before?

McP, my guess is since the poster thought the pic was of one of the Bathtub lakes near Pilchuck, they "borrowed" the 'Mc' part of your handle. lol.gif

A note of caution about Granite Mountain. The winds that funnel through the pass often cross-load those slopes with snow that may feel solid on the surface but have unstable layers below. I once triggered a slab avalanche up there when I was on a small snowpatch with rocks and grass sticking out of it. The facture went off like a gunshot and an adjacent bowl cut loose, piling up blocks up to the size of a computer monitor in the pile of debris at the bottom.

McPlagiraize, there's a little more to it, but I won't go into that nor will I even go there. And there are a few buds of mine here on this board that know what I mean. Enough said.
