| With rain at Snoqualmie Pass my partner Chris and I ditched on our plans to do an overnight to climb Thomson and then ski Alaska out to Gold Ck. Instead we decided to ski Lundin. We cruised up Commonwealth Basin and stashed our skis at the col. The whole mountain was covered in snow (and clouds) which made the climbing fairly challenging, especially the exposed 4th class step. We belayed this section. After summiting, we rappelled the route and skied back down into Commonwealth Basin. Snow was better near the top, but it was all pretty wet. We brought a light rack, a 30m rope, and a few slings. Fun route to do in winter conditions. |
