Mt. Goode

This expedition to Mt. Goode was the most grueling, ambitious, and exciting expedition I have been a part of so far. Guarded by a vast wilderness, Mt. Goode is regarded as not only the tallest but also the most remote peak in the North Cascades. It is the epitome of cascadian ruggedness, sporting its fair share of bushwhacking, river crossings, thick alders, alpine meadows, chossy scrambling, icefalls, glacier travel, and sustained alpine climbing. Over three days we traveled 40 miles with nearly 9,000 ft of total elevation gain (4,000 of which we were tied into a rope). It was definitely an adventure we had to earn, but worthy of every ache and pain.
