Route Climbed: Southwest Side Date Climbed: December 2002
The trailhead was snowed in about 1 mile from the end. Soloed this route in approximately 12.5 hours car to car in deep powdery snow conditions with snowshoes. Took a look at the West Face on the way up. Looks like a really nice steep winter mixed climb. A nice view of the lake to the south from the top. Good times.
Route Climbed: Scotchman Peak trail Date Climbed: August 21, 2004
While talking with two gals on top, I had my back turned to my open backpack sitting on the ground some distance behind me. Turned around to see the one horned summit goat inching toward my pack with my food in it. Goat get away from my food! The goat was quite annoyed with me for forcing it to retreat.
Route Climbed: Trail Date Climbed: August 28, 2004
Bob Bolton and I climbed (hiked) this neat peak in rainy and foggy conditions. The trail is a steep one but enjoyable although I know I'll have to return on a day when the weather is better and there are better views than what we were able to see. We stumbled onto a geocache but neither Bob nor I are really sure what that hobby is all about but we were curious enough to look and see although we didn't sign. The logbook had several signaures/entries but wasn't being to be used for a summit register. I've got to investigate and learn more about it. Its a great hike. Watch out for the old goat up there (my buddy Bob of course). Heh heh.
