| thebeave7 | South Slope ![]() Date Climbed: Nov 3, 2007 | |
| Hiked up South Halfmoon Creek, over a few inches of packed snow. South slopes above treeline were completely clear. We left the road early and bushwacked through the willows, then up the easy South slope. Finished with a traverse over to Frasco and Casco. http://www.ericjlee.com/Photos/071102%20FrenchMt/index.php | ||

| Summited French along with Frasco and Casco from Halfmoon Road. French Mountain had one of the better summit panorama's I've seen. | ||

| The river crossings were high and wet. The scree slope to the Casco/Frasco saddle was nasty. The traverse to French somewhat fun. All said it was a great outing. Also climbed Casco on this trip. | ||

| The valley looked golden due to the willows changing colors. This was a very nice hike filled with solitude (no one all day). Highly recommended. | ||

| Lovely approach from the west. Summited Casco Peak first. Fun ridge traverse from Casco to Frasco, quick and easy after there. Bombarded by hail on the return. A large church group from Texas climbed French Mtn earlier in the summer - I think they came up from the east side, which is shorter and easier. | ||
