Climbers

Congrats to all; glad to hear the climb did proceed, and with great success!  Great pictures! As Bryon notes, witnessing the clouds roiling thru the passes is pretty impressive. I especially like the one looking west showing the Snoqualmie crest with the major summits (Snoqualmie, Thompson, Huckleberry) projecting above the clouds.

 

 

You kids also seem to have lucked out with good weather and in that the lower trail had been recently brushed out.  Makes the approach much more enjoyable. Lastly, a comment on Spectacle lake  -  it’s a great place to camp, though it, too, has a long approach either from Mineral Creek or Cooper lake/Pete lake. There are numerous places at which to camp; the drawback is that it’s not that convenient for climbing efforts – a bit farther from most objectives.

 

Great leads from Chris and Gabe. Hopefully, seeing pics such as these will foster interest in both Chikamin and the surrounding peaks in the future.

Great photos. I love those near the end of the clouds pushing through the pass like a glacier descending from a high snow field.
