Dorado Needle & Eldorado TR!
I climbed 8,440 foot Dorado Needle and 8,868 foot Eldorado Peak on Friday and Saturday respectively. The weather was spectacular, the routes were in great shape, the bivy spot was awesome, and it was an all-around great time! The Eldorado Ice Cap area in North Cascades National Park never fails to produce memorable climbs. I…

Yesterday Bjorn and I climbed Dorado Needle on the Eldorado Ice Cap and today we ascended Eldorado Peak for sunrise. These mountains are in North Cascades National Park.

Tormented on Mount Torment
Bjorn and I intended on completing the Torment-Forbidden traverse in North Cascades National Park. We made excellent time on the approach, but slowed down on the South Ridge of Mount Torment. Despite free soloing the entire route, we were already behind where we thought we would get. More time was spent getting out of a…
