Jen went backpacking July 21 to July 24, 2026 22 miles 6,750 feet gained 3 nights
I was fortunate to be invited on this climb by a friend who won the lottery. It's a darn long approach for a 5 pitch rock climb. But it sure is beautiful there. We were worried about the smoke as we drove up through Yakima, but it cleared as we started hiking. Climb day was bluebird. We stayed at Snow Lake, and had some delightful swimming! Saw goats and marmots. Climbing on granite is awesome!
