Very fun route, but there is a lot of loose rock. I climbed solo, and there were two sections where the route wasn’t immediately clear to me, so I dropped below the ridg. Overall, there’s as much climbing and exposure as you could want on this route.

Inspiration Traverse - North Cascade National Park

We did the Inspiration Traverse, starting from Thunder Creek TH and ending at the Eldorado TH.
It took two hours to find a crossing over Thunder Creek and getting back to the trail, it involved bushwhacking.
The ridge up to Borealis is TOUGH. 4,000 gain in 2 miles.
We climbed Primus, Austera, and Doraldo Needle.
