Crazy Peak Scramble

08/27/16

We decided to camp down by Granite Lake (or maybe it was Blue Lake) and the hike up to there was a breeze and the campsite was gorgeous and roomy. The next morning we got up at around 6:30 am, made pancakes and were headed out at around 7:20 am. The hike up was straightforward and we just started walking up the mountain and kept going right. We did not go up one of the chutes and instead went around to the side and up, which worked out well. Everything up to the the 350 yards before the summit was a completely doable and straightforward scramble but those last 350 yards turned into a sketchy class 4. Maybe we went the wrong way? Not sure. But nevertheless it was an amazing trip and the views, campsites, and mountain lakes were 10/10. We camped that night and swam in the lakes multiple times, as well as polar-bearing in the morning. Would 10/10 recommend but take the "Advanced" rating seriously.
