Probably the most remote and consistently-challenging trip I've done in Washington (and I believe Ben concurred). From Fisher Basin to North Fork Bridge Creek we did 11.5 miles of continuous cross country travel.
Approx. 30.5 miles, 12,000' gain, 6 bears

I'd been thinking of doing this ever since climbing Arriva and looking at it from up there. Where did you start and finish? Was a rope necessary at all?
ReplyDeleteWe started at Easy Pass and ended at Bridge Creek. Nothing harder than class 3.
