Photos from this trip can be found here. Pups and I attempted this mountain five Januarys ago, got as far as Old Blewett Pass and called it.

2017/4/29 – Frenchman Coulee VII / 法蘭區深谷之七
Photos from this trip can be found here. Back again in less than three months since pups and my last visit. In need of a refresher, I signed up to help instruct Mountaineers rock field trip.

Despite the effort, late morning start with short daylight had us turn around at…

Residual snow past North Fork Derby Canyon Road junction had us back out of Plan A to Blag Mountain and resort to Plan B near the estuary of Entiat River….
