"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."

Northwest Ridge with NartrebForgot the camera! The bootpath up to Tinkham was mostly Class 2 with one 20 foot Class 3 move as the crux. Signed the summit log on the West summit and traversed over to the East summit. Views were pretty hazy but the mountain was much better than expected.

SE RidgeStarted at the Mirror Lake TH. No difficulties on the way up, but managed to lose the route on the way down. Had fun finding my way back to Mirror Lake!

EnjoyableFun hike up the SE ridge. It looks like Mirror Lake is a popular and fun place for families to camp.

Route Climbed: Mirror lake TH, 3/5/05Lots of snow and postholing. Got off route and into the cliffbands ( real sketchy . I had to drop back down after an hour probing and swam in the snow up a steep slope to gain the ridge proper. Once on the ridge it was an easy route find.

Route Climbed: Northwest Ridge Date Climbed: September 24, 2002This fall has offered a lot of sunny days in the Cascades and this was yet another one. Climbed Tinkham and Abiel Peaks starting from the Mirror Lake trailhead. Had both summits to myself. About 8 miles roundtrip.
