Great report.

Talked to a few people about doing this earlier this year. Glad to see someone got on it!

Another great trip and report.

keep it up!

and excuse my ignorance, but what famous french man are you talking about?

Great reports from Kyle and Jason.

Thanks a million for letting me tag along, the immortalization, and everything else. Deffinatly one of the most memorable trips I've ever been on. boat to boat, all 5 days where a great experiance.

I somehow deleted all the pics off of my camera before loading them onto my computer. had some really good ones from the few times I had the nerve to let go of goode on the way up. Acutally, was more scared I wouldn't be able to get m...

Thanks for the beta.  Planning a trip out there in a couple weeks and wondering which TH to start at...    any more info would be greatly appreciated!

$$$!

Thanks for the TR. What trailhead did you start at? How deep is the snow up there at the moment? Haven't been up there since early April and am curious how the melt is progressing.

yep, is forest road 2820. Directions are on this page, little quilicene access. hike #835. http://www.olympicforest.org/hiking_guide.htm

re route, nearly all the route is in the first photo, taken from about 3 miles into FR 2820 from a high point. In photo, you see FR 2820 continuing, just above where the road turns right behind the forested ridge, is the gully we hiked. I can send a photoshopped version with route if you want via PM.

Nice photos, wish it was like that for us on Townsend Sunday.
Do you have a number for that FS road?  And is any of your route in the first photo? 

That's true if you break trail.You should get the honors of going first.
But once people get in the zone.They start charging.I didn't want to go
first but at least the second or third.

Fantastic job, Eduardo. We were a bit worried about you guys because we couldn't see you from the clearcut (we had to turn back earlier) but we could hear a lot of avy activity in that area--and we had already seen a big serac avy at 7:30am at the farther side of the Hanging Gl. Smart choice to opt for that narrower couloir. Niko

So many lines in NY, NH, ME, VT besides Tucks, great to see you enjoying [and a knowing nod for your discretion]. 

so much stuff to see and ski. nice to be able to enjoy supportive corn snow  that never really goes, "past prime". ever. even south facing. show up at 9am, noon, or in the late afternoon and never get on it too late.

tomor...

wow, nice writing...

Awesome. Nothing better then corn with your son!!!!

Joe, Great images and video clips of your trip with Paul.  Jill and I missed our annual Sierra trip this spring.  It sure is nice to ski  the Sierra in the sun with corn.  ;)

That last picture is awesome! Throne seems to be the appropriate name for such a magnificent backdrop.

Hi Becky,
I was part of the group that met you on Long's Pass.  I later learned that we did indeed wake the guys in the megamid.  They skied Cascadian and we met back at Longs Pass later in the day.  Our ski was uneventful and fun.  We got to the summit at 2pm and back to the pass around 5pm.  I wouldn't call it boney, but there was a spot that got pretty narrow around 7000'.  The ski line comes straight off the summit which is very satisfying.

awesome writeups... and the first image is just stunning... I really enjoyed reading yours and Jason's accounts about the decision to drop the other side.

road is completely clear to the trailhead and beyond.

To get an idea of coverage, Hook Creek drainage from above:

Your notes on cc.com from a few yrs ago about lightning creek were much appreciated.

Quoted for truth but that's a whole different story  ;)

Thanks for your time!

How can you see the image from that new camera at Muir? Is it a park camera or a NWAC camera?

It is an NPS webcam, a StarDot NetCam SC Vandal Resistant Dome with a prominent "US GOVT PROPERTY NATIONAL PARK SERVICE" barcode sticker on the side (barely visible in the image).
