Recent Trip To the Glacier Peak Wilderness

(transcribed by Fred G. Cliffy to lazy to post)



The plan was to climb Maude and 7 Fingered Jack in one day.  Due to the heat, I only made Maude and passed on 7FJ due to the amount of water I was consuming (over 7 liters in 7 hours on the Maude climb) and no visible water source on 7FJ.  Reaching my camp in the Leroy Basin at 2 pm, the flies were huge and eating me alive, and due to the temp. inside my tent, I opted to hike out.  I reached Leavenworth around 7 pm and took up shelter in motel that had a 20 foot statue of a black night.  Awesome.  Slammed a burger and a few beers at Gustovs and called it a night.
