"I would definitely recommend this trip to a friend."
A new Mt. Pilchuck Registry with a few laminated photos as well as a little verse, has been placed in the Lookout atop the summit today (6-26-02), for those venturing up there - provided by McPilchuck - just enjoy.
On a wildlife note: there is a yearling bear right beneath the ladder that from reports has been there for the past week - took some great photos of him.
The trail still has lots of snow, the North face winter route (which we came down) is still OK and glissading as well, but not really recommended anymore this season...brush replacing the snow.
Note: This is backcountry wilderness travel. You are responsible for informing yourself of the hazards and taking the necessary precautions.
