7/6/2025 Route: From Andrews lake Posted On: 7/6/2025, By: yaktoleft13 Info: Did w twi -> s twi -> twi -> n twi -> n2 -> snowdon. Summer conditions. Two spicy parts: ledge traverse descending from twi to n twi, only 15 feet but awkward, exposed, and thin. To get to n2, easy ascending traverse bushwhack from about 2/3rds of a mile forward from the lake. Ridge from n2 to snowdon is nasty, loose, and about to fall down. I went under to the west, marsh took it on and spent as much time trundling and cleaning holds as climbing. Think there was a bit of gps drift, but stats read 18.5 mi, 7100 gain, 12:30 car to car |

7/18/2017 Route: North Twilight - Twilight - South Twilight combo Posted On: 7/22/2017, By: TravelingMatt Info: First see report for North Twilight. NE ridge of Twilight does not go due to deep gash about 2/3 of the way up; this gash may not be obvious from summit of North Twilight. Instead, follow ridge about halfway up, then descend some 80' to the right (south). I found a small (10' wide) rubble gully running south, followed it down to a larger gully coming down from the summit, then crossed that to re-ascend via a narrow (3' wide) mixed grass/scree shelf until I had roughly gained back the elevation I had lost. From there it is a fun scramble on large, stable boulders straight up to the summit area. The transition from the descending rubble gully to the narrow shelf was the crux; was very loose and required a couple of Class 3+ moves. Ridge to South Twilight is Class 2. |
