Beatout Hike with my friend Connor. Started at 10PM from white pine TH the night before. Slept at Red Pine Lake. Woke up, chilled out, went to Upper Red Pine Lake, too much snow and couldn't really find a trail so hoofed it through a lot of snow. I slipped through the snow and hit a rock underneath on my leg, and now I have a gnarly scar to remember it by. Luckily I had some butterfly bandages and we continued. Made our own path up to the ridge right next to little pfeiffer, summited that. On our way along the ridge to pfeifferhorn we saw the only person of the day. A nice older lady on her way down that seemed bad ass. Summited Pfeiffer. Went along ridge and then up to summit UPWOP (aka Shy Boy Peak is the name we gave it.) Went along a very sketchy route over to Chipman Peak. Did a decent amount of free climbing with the route we chose and it was awesome. Summited Chipman. Went along Lightning Ridge. This took us a while just because of pictures and how much fun we were having. Lightning Ridge was the coolest part of the trip. Went over to summit So. Thunder Mtn. Instead of going down to the south to the saddle we went a little north and then west down a super steep chute that was fun. Slid down a bunch of snow at the bottom. Thought we had a little bit of direction where we were going to get to Upper Bells Reservoir. But we ended up getting very lost and missing the reservoir. Bells was extremely pretty! But it was only fun for a about a mile from the base of So. Thunder. From here we boulder hopped and scrambled for miles and about 2 to 2.5 hours. It was becoming miserable. We were hungry, tired, and exhausted. At this point we knew why it was nicknamed the beatout hike. Dropping that 6000 feet of elevation to the trailhead through boulder fields and steep trail was no fun. But we finally made it to the Bells TH around 10PM.
