Notes to Everett Mountaineers' Scrambling Peaks List Guidebook References: 1. Cascade Alpine Guide, to Stevens Pass, 3rd Edition (brown cover) 2. Cascade Alpine Guide, Stevens Pass to Rainy Pass, 3rd Edition (green cover) 3. Cascade Alpine Guide, Rainy Pass to , 2nd Edition (red cover) O. Climber's Guide to the , 3rd Edition BC. 103 Hikes in , 5th Edition 75. 75 Scrambles in Washington Reference Notes to Scramble Peak List: A. A $15 fee permit (Cascades Pass) is required to climb above 7,000’ on Mt. Adams from 6/1 to 9/30. Permits are available from the Trout Lake or Randle Ranger Stations, or by mail in advance. Free Wilderness Permits are also required (available at the trailhead). B. The Custom Correct Hurricane Ridge map is also very helpful. C. The Custom Correct Seven Lakes Basin — map is also very helpful. D. Route description for Arrowhead Mtn: Park at the entrance to the D.O.T. facility located on the north side of Hwy 2, about 2.5 miles east of Stevens Pass Nordic Center. Walk back across the highway bridge over Nason Creek, then turn S and walk to the RR tracks. Follow the tracks .5 mile to the E, then head uphill through heavy timber, aiming for the long NE shoulder. Follow shoulder to the summit (4 hours). E. The summit of this mountain is either NOT labeled or is INCORRECTLY labeled on some maps. Study the guidebook and map carefully to determine the true summit location. F. Bald Mtn is best reached by a new trail that begins at the end of the Mallardy Ridge Road. G. The Custom Correct map is also very helpful. H. The START of this route can be difficult to locate. It may be wise to talk to someone who has been there, or go and scout the route ahead of time. I. The recommended map is a Canadian topo, Cheakamus River 92G/14. Outdoor stores seldom carry these, but map specialty stores often will. J. The route is longer because part or the entire road from Barlow Pass to Monte Cristo must be traveled. The mileage and elevation gain estimates include this segment. Mountain bikes save a lot of walking and time. K. The Trails Illustrated topo of Mount Rainier National Park is also very helpful. L. A maintained trail leads to the summit; this route is not a scramble unless done as an early season snow scramble. M. The Custom Correct Gray Wolf — Dosewallips map is also very helpful. N. The road access to this route may be closed, or not passable. This could greatly affect the mileage/elevation gain figures given. Contact the Ranger Station regarding the road situation. O. The Custom Correct Mount Skokomish — Lake Cushman map is also very helpful. P. The description in 75 Scrambles (page 188) places Bills Peak incorrectly. It is NW of the Beverly-Fourth Creek saddle. Q. Fay Peak is usually combined with Mt. Pleasant and Hessong Rock to make an "official" scramble. R. Sections of this route can be very treacherous when snow covered, so scramblers should not attempt this route until mid- or late summer. S. Note that the Hidden Lake Peak trail leads to a lookout, which is NOT on the summit. T. In addition to the route given, Mt. Pilchuck can be scrambled via the trail route in early season when it is snow covered. U. Pinnacle Peak (sometimes The Castle) is combined with Plummer Peak to make an "official" scramble. V. Permits are required to climb St. Helens, and a daily quota is in effect. Reservations are accepted beginning February 1 st — the prime weekend dates go very quickly. The permit is $15 for climbs from 4/1 to 10/31. Go to http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/mount-st-helens/permit-system.shtml for full details. W. Permits are required in the Enchantment Lakes region, and advance reservations are strongly advised. Call the Leavenworth Ranger Station at 509–548–6977 to request a registration form. Reservations are accepted beginning March 1st, and they go very quickly. Also be advised that other areas of the may require permits. X. Echo Rock is usually combined with Observation Rock to make an "official" scramble. Y. Sperry & Vesper are Rock scrambles only. Do not do before July 15 when there is snow below Headlee Pass; there have been slipping accidents on the steep snow slope below Headlee Pass. Z. Helmets are strongly recommended for this scramble due to high potential of rock fall.

Type : Rock (R), Snow (S), and other mixed terrain (O)

Strenuous (1 to 5): Mileage, elevation gain and difficulty of the terrain (steepness, off-trail travel, brush, etc.).

Technical (1 to 5): Does not correspond to the Yosemite Decimal System. However, a trip rated as "1" will not likely exceed class 1, a "5" trip likely includes some class 3, and trips rated in between are likely class 2.

The ratings assume optimal conditions and typical season. Bad weather, getting off route or very soft snow can make a scramble more difficult than its normal rating.
