Before you read this let it be known this TR is way too long with way to many pictures
Enjoy
The North Cascades are some of the most rugged terrain in the lower 48.
Everything seemed to line up perfectly with the highway opening Friday at 8:00 am to a forecast of blue skies. Well it wasn’t 8:00 am it was 8:00pm and even worse the forecast for Saturday was calling for rain but Sunday and Monday were looking to promising. With the hopes of sunny skies plans changed to head into the North Cascades Saturday night and bag Black Peak on Sunday and Silverstar on Monday.
Friday April 24th
To take advantage of the forecast on Friday I met up with Amar, Christy and Jason to tackle some lower elevated peaks in the Snoqualmie area. Our agenda was Red mountains west face.

It was still early in the day so we climbed over to Lundin Peak

It turned out to be a great day to take advantage of Blue sky and Corn skiing
