I took advantage of the wonderful weather and the 4 hours between my classes to take a stab at a bushwhack on Connection gully off of the tuckermans ravine trail. it reminded me a lot of Huntington but with everything turned up to 11. unfortunately i hit my turn around time right as i figured out my route past the crux. Unlike Huntingtons there was a lot of loose scree, i would HIGHLY recommend wearing a helmet if you aren't attempting this solo, as rock fall is a serious problem on this route. i'll be back next week weather permitting to hopefully hike the rest of this bad larry. and shoutout the group of hikers watching me descend from the shed clearing!
Howdy! doing huntington has left me with an itch that only granite slabs and rockslides can properly scratch. What are some of your favorite trails that require all fours to get up?
after four weeks of wet conditions after getting to the notch i finally got a dry day on the ravine and oh boy did it live up to the hype. the biggest shock about the trail wasn't the scrambling or slabs tbh, but the lush mosh and gorgeous caves on the hike in, this might be my favorite trail in the whites without even making it to the ravine. the scrambles on the other hand made me glad i bought approach shoes for the trail. would do again!
I arrived at the trailhead at 6am to a full lot, first time up green leaf which the lil cave alone made worth it. definitely wait for the hiker shuttle back to 34B, that bike path walk blows hard
Howdy all! i finally got myself a new pair of boots and i've been ITCHING to ski washington all year. with the auto road open i was planning on driving up and skiing tucks, but i don't really know what im getting myself into exactly with possible crevasses and snow undermining. has anyone been out recently that can confirm that either tucks, the gulf of slides, or that the snowfields are skiiable?
i will be bringing crampons and an axe
