Cutthroat


Arrr! A pirate blog entry you're thinking, right? Sorry, just a lame-ass 8,050 ft. peak in the North Cascades. Climbed it on Sunday in perfect weather with the route completely to ourselves. It's one memorable sighting as you near the crest of the North Cascades, Highway 20. Mid-5th class most of the way. About 8 pitches up and near 10 raps down. It was fantastic except the the extreme number of raps. Oh, well.
