7/29/2018 Route: From S Mineral Posted On: 7/31/2018, By: Marmot72 Info: From camp by Bandora mine, up to Hope pass, up V9, down the grungy horrid loose east slope into cascade basin, elk trails to then contour Grizzly's east slope, off Grizzly SW corner to 12.4, up to V10, then descent into the narrow north basin and a nice elk trail that ðŸ-lined across the upper Cascade basin. Air was clear but smelled a bit smoky-the next day I awoke coughing. |

7/21/2018 Route: Standard Posted On: 7/21/2018, By: illusion7il Info: No summit register. Know your route, as there no carins. Didn't feel like driving the long cascade rd, so I took the rico-silverton trail to the CT over rolling pass. When I reached the basin I joined the standard south gully route to the top. Weather was intresting. On the return to rolling pass, I had to wait over an hour at 12K at treeline for a storm to pass. At least I had a front row seat for the fireworks, all while getting pounded by hail. All the stream crossings turned into rivers. |
