North Twin Sister-West Ridge

Mike, Ryan, Doug and I went up the West Ridge of the North Twin Sister in a day and a half this August 18-19. We got a late afternoon start after pizza and beer (before the climb, which is unusual!).

We had heavier-than-usual packs since we were spending the night. This made the approach more difficult, with a fair amount of walking our bikes...but we knew that we would have a cruiser ride out the next day.

Camp was nice, a few mosquitoes kept away by the fire and then the cold. We woke just after dawn and hike up to the ridge:

Beautiful scrambling just below the summit.
