The Ladies of the Skagit Alpine Club Scramble Black Peak

Black Peak is a 9000' (actually 8970') peak in the North Cascades.  The trailhead begins at Rainy Pass on Highway 20. The route we took is rated a Class 3 scramble.  The northeast ridge route requires a rope and hardware.  The trip can be done in a day since the route is 14 miles round trip.  However, we had a couple false starts in the morning and didn't arrive at the trailhead until nearly noon.  Three of our group of eight could only be out for the day.  The remaining five of us wanted to stay overnight anyway.  Camp is at the upper lake, Wing Lake.  Here are the photos.
