Ben & Kevin’s Excellent Pasayten Adventure
Description
This route explores the beauty of the Pasayten wilderness. It includes nearly 10,000 of elevation gain with one monster climb of almost 4,000 ft in a little over 5 miles. It crosses five passes: Sunny Pass, Horseshoe Pass, Scheelite Pass, Apex Pass, and Cathedral Pass. The route was conceived by Ben and Kevin as a 3 day fast pack adventure for mid September when the larches are turning. Last year on their adventure they saw more bears than they saw humans.
The complete route is: Boundary Trail Pasayten (533), Chewuch Trail (510), Topaz Mtn Trail (360), Windy Peak Trail (342), Clutch Creek Trail (343).
Bonus points for tagging Windy Peak summit.
