"When I saw the low avalanche danger forecast for super bowl Sunday I made plans to summit Scout Peak, hoping to avoid most of the target practice crowd. I knew I would be walking a few miles of the access road on the way in, but i was disappointed to find Tinkham Road rutted out from the start beyond the capabilities of my sedan. Now for the backup plan: Roaring Ridge. I parked North of road 9070 at the winter "trailhead-ish" next to the sewage plant. Road 9070 or the Cold Creek X-Country ski trail was freshly groomed with manufactured ski tracks on both sides, makes me wish I had a ski setup. I turned left off the groomed road before crossing Cold Creek and donned snowshoes for the direct ascent before the next major drainage. Orange paint around most of the large trees above the road suggest a timber harvest soon to come. The paint stopped sharply as we crossed the sharp boundary line of the last logging here. Above the tree line Keechelus Ridge and the frozen lake below it sat under a low cloud ceiling, the only significant view I would get all day. I could see the wide open gully NW of the summit from below, but chose a more direct route up lee slopes to the South. ..." — Jeb • Feb 3, 2013

"We drove up to the saddle between the 2 peaks and then followed a vague path up the ridge to the southeastern peak where a lookout tower once stood. This was the third and final peak of the day so by this time it was dark causing us to lose the trail on the way in and on the way out. We did some quality bushwacking in the dark. We did manage to find a geocache near the remnants of the tower in a stump by a couple small firs." — Al-Rashid • Sep 7, 2012
