That's amazing. Another seemingly silly east coast question coming at ya....do a lot of people get out to an area like that? Looks amazing but that's one hell of a hike from what you made it sound like. We don't really have stuff like that out here so that seems crazy to me. Looks like it was worth it though and even more so for an overnight....

Whitehorse doesn't seem to get alot of attention especially during the winter months

Is everything in the N. Cascades this heinous to access?
Yes and no when Highway 20 opens (which is soon) it allows you access to many massive peaks but there are also some that require slogs that make this trip look like a walk in the park.
Thanks again for all the kind comments I plan on tackling this giant again real soon.

TEX I owe you a big thank you
I dont know if you remember this but last year at the Scrubfest I was having problems traversing a Icy slope and you showed me how to side angle while using my poles to stabilize myself. I feel I have finally perfected the sideangling and I thank you for taking the time to show me the tricks .
