"What a great mountain! My friend Jon and I started biking Monday morning up Dosewallips. I used my road bike which wasn't ideal but we made it to the lake Constance trailhead in good time. We found a bush to stash the bikes and started making our way up to the lake. This trail is extreme. We lost it for a bit and ended up getting into steep loose scrambling but made our way back over and down to the proper trail. It wasn't much better though. Steepest maintained trail I had ever "hiked", and instantly regretted bringing extra weight (beer). After struggling getting up, we were stoked to jump in and found a pretty good sized jump into lake Constance. The next morning we left camp around 6 and walked into Avalanche canyon. We hung a right into the south chute which is mostly scree but I found more solid rock on climber's right. At the pass you drop down a bit and head left up more scree, but it soon turns into enjoyable scrambling up to the next pass. From the top of that chute you can spot the summit block, which looked spicy. Continuing to scramble over the path of the least resistance we came to the famous finger traverse. This feature was the main reason I had put off this climb ..." — MatthewWinterberg • Jul 21, 2020
