[pct-l] Re: Re: pct-l PCT: Steven's Pass to Stehekin?



I meant Red Pass below, I don't recommend glissading down Fire Creek Pass!

>It's true that Fire Creek Pass will almost always have snow, but I found that to be an advantage as it makes for an easy, fun, and fast (but not too fast) glissade down. An ice axe will be handy, especially around Mica Lake, which seems to have its own sub-artic micro-climate. I'm not sure about the crampons. A call to a ranger station is worth-while. This section is the most demanding in Washington and Oregon, but without a doubt the wildest and most scenic. I'd plan on 75% of your normal mileage.
