We got back on Thursday night from Mount Shasta and I emailed Bob to tell him that I could make the climb to Unicorn Peak on Saturday. Alexis drove me up on Friday and we tried to find Snow Lake but the trail had snow on it and it was getting late in the evening so we camped illegally at Bench Lake but we weren't sure it wasn't Snow Lake however we didn't have a permit after all.
Unicorn Peak is the highest peak in the Tatoosh Range. Tatoosh means nourishing breast a local native American language.
Tom was in the group ahead of us. We borrowed his rope to rappel with.
Summit shot of Unicorn Peak elevation 6,917 ft.
Mt. Adams from the summit of Unicorn there was a mountain goat on the ridge, some of the first wildlife I've seen this season.
We rappelled off the summit block, Sabina had some trouble and pendulumed had hurt her back. But she made it back alright.
We glissaded back all the way to Snow Lake and then hiked out to the cars. Great weather and and a great climb. This was the first Mazmas climb for many of our team.
