"Bridge over the Carbon is washed out. There's a log I thought about skooting across, but it was wet (indicating it had been under water, or at least splashed the day before) and there was a hot day forecasted (glacier melt boost), so I opted to go to Tyee and Chenuis instead." — TynanRammGranberg • Sep 7, 2020

"Left Sunrise Point at 6:30 AM with the plan of doing the trailed portion of this loop before many folks were on the trail, then returning via the ridge line. Saw nobody on the trail until I got to Dege Peak. Possibly some light Class 3 on the route I took to Marcus Peak and descending from Marcus to the south, but overall Class 2. Saw quite the gamut of ungulates: deer, mountain goats, and bull elk (the latter bugling and locking antlers in the meadows). Any time my GPS track descends from the ridgeline, I was following a game trail. It was a spectacular, blue bird day, but started brisk (36* when I left Sunrise Point). Met a very nice man from Ohio named Ricardo on the summit of Dege. I wish he wasn't traveling so extensively during the pandemic, but I wish him luck on his tour of the West. Note: Peakery currently lists both "The Palisades" and "Palisades Peak" for some reason." — TynanRammGranberg • Aug 30, 2020

"From the Mowich Lake Campground, headed north on the east shore past the patrol cabin. Then followed a boot path up in the direction of Knapsack Pass. At about 5400 feet elevation, turned south to follow the Fay Peak trail. Finding this turn-off was a bit tricky. The map seemed to indicate I should climb up a small waterfall, but upon reversing my track, I found a short westward section that crossed a small stream then immediately turned south. Followed the boot path to the Fay ridge. Thought about climbing the rocks at the west end of the ridge, where the boot path arrives, but it was too slippery. In general, I was soaked already from squeezing past trees, and I put my rain pants and rain jacket on. This way, at least I was wet and warm instead of wet and cold. Followed the boot path towards Fay Peak. Attempted to scramble it from the west side, but with the slippery rocks, that wasn't all that easy. I made it on the northwestern flank, but then discovered that it would have been a walk-up from the east (not too surprising, looking at the map). Further followed a boot path along the ridge past the middle rocks, which I climbed, to East Fay Peak. It looks like it would be..." — mathiasricken • Sep 21, 2019
