7/3/2023 Route: Cooper Creek TH Posted On: 7/5/2023, By: kwhit24 Info: We parked/camped at Grizzly Gulch and drove to Cooper Creek TH in the morning. There are a few big snow fields to manage but they are relatively short. We decided to do this clockwise summiting Every Mtn first which we think was the right call because of the slope coming off of Cooper Creek Pk. About 2.75 miles in there is an obvious trail that side hills across the slope to 12,200'. We then crossed the upper part of Cooper Creek and then took another fairly obvious trail (shown on CalTopo) to the ridge at 12,800'. From there it's ridge walkin' to Every Mtn and Cooper Creek Pk. We backtracked a little and went down the slope but it had enough loose material that we were glad we went clockwise. (11.60 mi; 3,738' gain; 6:33:40 time) Start at TH 6:10am; Every Mtn 9:25am; Cooper Creek Pk 10:25am; Back to TH 12:45pm |

5/28/2022 Route: Via Cooper Creek Posted On: 5/28/2022, By: gcook33 Info: Route is 95% dry. All snow until the ridge is avoidable or easily traversable. Some snow on the ridge to Every Mtn, but easily avoidable. Ridge over to Cooper Creek Mtn is completely dry. I took the drainage down after Cooper Creek and that was dry as well. |

10/2/2021 Route: Via Cooper Creek Posted On: 10/3/2021, By: daway8 Info: Surprised how much snow was on the ridge in places - some areas just a dusting but other spots several inches and even saw the beginnings of some small wind cornices and a few small releases of snow in steep terrain while going up Every Mountain and over to Cooper. Didn't bother with traction but some may prefer spikes in current conditions. See photos. |

11/1/2020 Route: Via Cooper Creek Posted On: 11/1/2020, By: supranihilest Info: The lower trail is a mix of dry and icy patches. About a mile or two in and it's all snow on the eastern side of the creek and largely dry on the western side. Snow is light crust with sugary garbage underneath. There's a couple of creek crossings and if possible you'll want to say on the west side of the creek, it's far drier. Eventually the trail takes you up the hillside to a large bowl between "Gudy Peak" and "Every Mountain", then continues up to the ridge. This section is all dry and gets steep. On the ridge you'll find superchoss and snow. We spent a lot of time side hilling below the ridge crest to avoid the snow on very, very loose junk. Eventually you can return to the ridge crest and then plod your way up the loose junk to the summit. Nothing harder than Class 2+ in current conditions. We wore trail runners but boots would probably be more appropriate. Ice axe and traction not needed. |
