Route:  N Twin Sister/West Ridge
Climbed:  Aug, 1994


Party: Josh, Tod, Joyce

A little difficulty finding the trail head.  Becky directions are
best, but it is no longer possible to drive to the meadow.  Must now
hike about 1.5 miles to get onto the ridge.  Most of the

distance is on roads and mountain bikes would make the approach and
exit far easier.

There is a good trail up to the ridge.  Good climbing on the ridge.
Near the top the S side of the ridge looked impassible so we moved to
the N side and found easy going.  Descended on the N side, which was
very loose rock.  This descent should be taken only when it is snow
covered.  Otherwise, easier to descend ridge.

If the descent is on the N side, do not descend to the forest.  Rather,
traverse SW on the slopes above the forest back to the beginning of
the ridge.  There is the beginning of a trial here.
