| cjwhat | Blowdown blues  Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2008 | |

| We parked per the route description and hiked the last mile of road. Thought I could drive it 'cause I usually do, but this time the description was darned accurate. Made it to the south end of Van Patten Lake where the many blowdowns creats some route finding issues. We lucked onto the right game trails. Went up the bowl (picked the right game trails again) and reached the saddle N of summit. From there it's easy to the summit. |
