"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

North RidgeClimbed from North Twilight. First couple hundred feet of the North Ridge are class 2. Then the terrain steepens. We turned right and descended into a loose gully before we hit the notch on the ridge. We turned left into the gully and climbed to the notch at the top of the gully. We then climbed some exposed class 3 to the ridge and traversed the ridge to the summit. A little tricky near the summit, but only about 45 minutes to the summit from North Twilight.

From Andrews Lake via North TwilightInteresting route finding. Didn't continue to South Twilight because I ran out of time after the long snowshoe from Andrews Lake. Trip report.

4th of July CouloirWonderful snow ascent up the 4th of July Couloir; stopped 100m short due to weather concerns (monsoon season had just begun...). We will surely return and attempt again! Longish day-hike from the Andrews Lake TH, but will likely camp at Crater lake for next attempt in order to get an earlier start.

Twilights TraverseClimbed north face couloirs on North Twilight, traversed to Twilight (tricky with snow) and to South Twilight (easy). Reversed our route to near the summit of North Twilight and descended its east ridge to Crater Lake.

excellentClimbed from South Twilight. From South Twilight it is only a walk over to Twilight. We climbed South Twilight from the 12,580 ft saddle SE of it. We also climbed UN 12932 and West Needle Mountain that day.
