Jul 25th, 2011| The West Ridge of Forbidden Peak is one of the most sought-after alpine climbs in the North Cascades. This fine route is included in the legendary “50 Classic Climbs in North America” and it holds all the challenges of a quintessential alpine climb: a glacier approach, steep snow climbing in a skinny couloir, extensive 5th class rock climbing on a supremely exposed ridge, and a technical descent. Whew! Last week Gordon, Sonya, and I made a perfect ascent of this fine route.
