Snoqualmie Mountain + Guye Peak (Hard)


Details
This hike is not for beginners! The plan is to summit Snoqualmie Mountain, and then cut over to Guye Peak. Adventurous souls like myself will be tagging Cave Ridge on the way to Guye.
Stats: 6.7 miles w/ ~5,100 ft of elevation gain
The route up Snoqualmie Mountain often involves a mix of Class 2 and Class 3 scrambling, particularly on the final half-mile to the summit. This section requires the use of hands at times and can be quite steep. The scramble to the summit, especially on the ridges, can be quite exposed, meaning there's a significant drop-off on either side with limited places to fall safely.
Cave Ridge involves scrambling that can range in difficulty depending on the specific route chosen
The scramble to the saddle between Guye Peak and Cave Ridge, after the turn-off from the trail towards Guye Peak, involves Class 2 scrambling through a boulder field. This is generally considered easy scrambling where you might use your hands for balance occasionally
Guye Peak: The main trail to the north summit involves a steep, proper trail with a ~30-40' Class 3 scramble to the top. Middle and South Summits: These are reached via exposed Class 3 or 4 scrambling.
GEAR: Helmet, Trekking poles, 2-3L of water, food &/or snacks, GPS (AllTrails is fine), common sense.

Everyone will be put on the waitlist at first, please answer all questions.
I cannot stress this enough, this is NOT a guided trip. By signing up, yourself and you alone are responsible for your safety. We will do the scrambles together, but
everyone will hike at their own speed.
