"Trail is actually decent relative to a mountaineering route. No snow. No helmet needed. No climbing. Don’t miss the notch just before the summit ridge either. Our down route is the one to follow. Up route we got off path multiple times. W Luke" — castrode • Aug 24, 2023
"Hiked in from obstruction point after work and camped at Moose lake. The next morning I woke up early to heavy smoke but decided to push on going over grand pass and into upper Cameron basin. I set up camp quickly and continued to Cameron pass. Soon after turning up the ridge I saw a party of 2 ahead going for Cameron as well. The climb was real straight forward with light scrambling towards the top. I shared the summit with Ben and Kate from Seattle for 15 minutes before continuing on the ridge towards Lost peak. The ridge was good up until the low point when I decided to drop down and around the back. Another nice scramble at the top of Lost and a summit to myself. Views were socked in with smoke on both summits but still a rewarding day in the mountains. Down to lost pass from there and a brutal/tiring walk over Cameron pass to camp. Headed all the way back to obstruction point the next day with a detour through Badger valley." — MatthewWinterberg • Aug 20, 2023
"Super hot and buggy day. I took the ridge direct which I don't recommend unless you like climbing a class 3 bush and wasp nests. The gully is the way to go even though you will still deal with Devil's club." — MatthewWinterberg • Aug 14, 2023
"Walked up to Flapjack lakes with B and set up camp. Headed up to Gladys, finding a trail all the way to the summit. Amazing views of the Sawtooth ridge on the way up. B was ready to head back but I wanted to tag Henderson. I dropped down to the beautiful Murdock lakes and got on the southern ridge of Henderson. The book claims class 1 on this one but I was scrambling in some solid 3. Kind of a plateau up at the top of Hendy. My route from Murdock lakes back to Gladys divide could have been more direct. All in all it was a great trip and I'm glad I made it back to this area." — MatthewWinterberg • Jul 30, 2023
