"We took the steep and direct south approach to Kachess Beacon. From there we followed Kachess Ridge to the north up and over Little Kachess before heading down the side of the ridge to connect back with the official trail. We then took the trail to just below the high point of Kachess Ridge where we left the trail and headed up to the peak, which would be our final destination of the day. It was mostly cloudy all day with a light snowfall pretty much all day long. We were hiking on a few inches of snow and I think we saw another inch accumulate throughout the day while we hiked.

"I don't think I have ever worked so hard to achieve a summit. After visiting the Kachess Beacon we bushwhacked northeast to the trail and finally reached the base of the summit almost 6 hours after leaving the trailhead. There is a prominent little peak between the summit and trail that looks far more impressive (even a bit intimidating for a snowy scramble) from the approach.
Snow appeared on the trail above 4000', and the powder continued to pour down on us throughout the day. Lots of water on the trail, as well as several wet creek crossings after the 3 bridges." — Jeb • Nov 10, 2012
