Tag 142 - 6.8.18 - Montag: North Cascades National Park Seite 18 Tag 142 - 6.8.18 - Montag: North Cascades National Park Cascade Pass & Saha- le Arm Trail Die Anfahrt zum Cascade Pass Trailhead über die einzige Zufahrt, die tatsächlich in den North Cascades National Park hinein- führt, zieht sich ab dem Örtchen Marble- mount 24 Meilen lang (vom Highway #20 geht es nur per Trail in National Recreation Areas). Schon bald wird Teer zu Gravel, Washboards wechseln sich mit überhän- genden Zweigen ab, bis es zum Schluss steil und eng einspurig nach oben geht. Doch der Parkplatz ist trotz der langen und ruppi- gen Anfahrt bereits zu 2/3 gefüllt, der Trail windet sich in geschätzt 35-40 Serpentinen mit einer Steigung von 10 % stetig nach oben auf den Cascade Pass durch dichten Wald. Woher wir die Steigung kennen: Wir brauchen für 3,9 km und 390 Höhenmeter genau eine Stunde. Danach geht es weiter durch offenes Gelände über Geröllhänge bis zum schmalen Sattel. Hier ist die Aussichts- plattform überfüllt mit vespernden Fami- lien, so dass wir flugs auf den Sahale Arm Trail abbiegen. Hier sind die Hänge baumlos und dicht an dicht mit einem bunten Mix vor allem weißer, aber auch roter und blauer Wildblumen bewachsen. Die Mur- meltiere lassen sich leider nicht blicken, nur ein einziges huscht in seinen Unterschlupf und ward nicht mehr gesehen, schade. Der Trail wandelt sich zu einem typisch bergigen Johannisburg Mountain & Cascade River Valley from Cascade Pass Trail Pfad mit Geröll und Felsstufen, der Anstieg ist anspruchsvoll. Doch nach insgesamt 720 Höhenmetern und gut 2 h oben auf dem Grat angekommen, blicken wir hinab zum Doubtful Lake, auf das rauhe, unbewach- sene Steinhang-Panomara mit Gletscher- flecken des Sahale Mountains und das Stehekin Valley, an dessen Ende der Chelan Lake liegt. Leider ist alles extrem diesig und milchig aufgrund der hohen Luftfeuchte. Nach einer Pause, bei der wir uns beißender Fliegen und Bremsen erwehren müssen, sem Himmel treten wir den Rückweg an, Kilometern an drei Wasserfällen direkt an laufen wir ein Stück weiter bis zum „best stets mit Gruppen anderer Besucher in der Straße, die sehr schön offen liegen und viewpoint above the lake“.

Diablo Lake Der Diablo Lake ist mit seiner türkisgrünen Farbe wirklich ein Juwel! Umrahmt von schroffen Gipfeln, liegt er in einer Farbe da, die selbst Karabikinseln, die Malediven oder die Südsee vor Neid erblassen lassen. Der Diablo Lake ist Teil der North Cascades National Recreation Area, wird aber von Seattle City Lights, einer Stromgesellschaft genutzt. Wir bleiben nicht nur zum Staunen und Fotografieren, sondern auch für ein kühlendes Bad in den klaren Fluten des Diablo Lakes. Das Wort „Flut“ ist recht treffend, denn das Becken ist aufgrund der Schnee- und Gletscherschmelze so voll, dass über die Spillways an den Dämmen reichlich Wasser in den Skagit River abgelas- sen wird und dieser fast weiß zu Tal poltert.

THE MOUNTAINEER LIBRARY The Club's library is one of the largest mountaineering col­ lections in the country. Books, periodicals, and pamphlets from many parts of the world are assembled for the interested reader.

The map collection is a valued source of information not only for planning trips and climbs, but for studying problems in other areas.

  • The East Face of Liberty Bell
    The East Face of Liberty Bell A l e x B e r t u l is A LTHOUGH Washington State is well known for its picturesque mountains which lie in full view of its cities and high­ ways, until recently only a handful of mountain climbers and fishermen ever ventured into the rugged interior of the North Cascade Range. Now that the eastern arm of the new trans-Cascade highway has reached Wash­ ington Pass, climbers and picnickers can drive to the foot of one of the most imposing mountains in the range: the Liberty Bell massif, consisting of Liberty Bell Mountain (7500 feet), Concord Tower (7300 feet), Lexington Tower (7300 feet), and the Early Winter Spires (c. 7600 feet). The east face of Liberty Bell is a nearly vertical wall of smooth granite which rises over a thousand feet above the perennial snowfields at its base. The Independence Route. In 1965 Steve Marts, Don McPherson, and Fred Stanley pioneered the classic Liberty Crack Route” up the left side of the east face (A.A.J., 1966, 15:1, p. 132-3). Inspired by their per­ formance, Hans Baer, Frank Tarver and Tom Quinn set out to climb the face via the profusely overhanging northeast corner. At the end of four strenuous leads Hans reached a ceiling from which he saw no cracks continuing. They abandoned the climb. Early in the summer of 1966 Frank, Steve, Don and I returned to give the northeast corner another try. After waiting for two blizzard-ridden days down in the valley, Frank and Steve had to return to Seattle.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES "THERE IS NO QUESTION AS TO THE PHYSICAL QUALIFICATIONS OF THE AREA FOR NATIONAL PARK STATUS. THIS IS NOT AT ISSUE. THE ELDORADO PEAKS AREA, THE PICKET RANGE, MOUNT SHUKSAN, THE UPPER PART OF LAKE CHELAN, THE STEHEKIN RIVER, AND THUNDER AND GRANITE CREEK VALLEYS ARE UNDISPUTED AS TO THEIR UNIQUENESS AND SCENIC GRANDEUR. " Wild Cascades REACTIONS TO STUDY REPORT NORTH CASCADES CONSERVATION COUNCIL Two and one-half years after the appointment of the North Cascades Study Team, to deter­ mine the future management of the Federal lands of Washington's North Cascades, The North Cascades Study Report was published, in October 1965. On this page we have summarized the North Cascades Conservation Council's reactions. In the rest of the issue we have selected text, tables, pictures and maps, which we have redrawn, from the Study Report, for your study. If you find our extraction insufficient, copies of the entire report may now be purchased from the Government Printing Office, Washington D. C., for $3. 50. A NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK must be established to preserve the most out­ standing alpland sceneryin the United States. While the Council's 1963 proposal for aPark would be the most effective way to do this, the Study Team's Park Proposal has a reasonable chance for success. In light of this realistic consideration, the Council is willing to support this com­ promising alternate, proposed by Mr. Crafts, providing that the existing de-facto wilderness, north and south of the North Cross-State Highway route, be designated as the "wilderness-core" of the North Cascades National Park.
