Trip: Mt. Stuart - North Ridge
Date: 8/16/2008
Trip Report:What this site needs is a TR of the N. Ridge of Stuart. Kyle Flick and I set off at 2.30am from Stuart Lake T.H., approached the N. Ridge via Stuart Lake in 5.5 hrs. Reached the notch in 4 hours, the summit in appx. 9 hours. No crampons or ice axe needed. Kyle descended via Sherpa/Argonaut Col, me via the Crapcadian, banking on a ride to Cle Elum, then back to Wenatchee.
MANY THANKS to Lisa D, Chris, Morgan, Joey, Molly, and Brian for the beer and food at the T.H., and breakfast in Cle Elum!!!
God you guys are funny. Hope we get to climb a few pitches sometime! Nice going on your north ridge climb too.
Just wanted to add a few photos to the 'ol archive! Enjoy!
