Red Peak

Route: Via Eccles Pass (Meadow Creek TH)

Info: Summited Red Peak via Eccles Pass from Meadow Creek TH yesterday. Microspikes were really nice to have on the hike in as there was lots of ice on the trail. We elected not to bring snowshoes but honestly they would've been really nice to have. The hike in to Eccles Pass was fine without them, but once dropping into the basin on the other side the snow got pretty deep (ranging from six inches on upward to 2-1/2 feet in spots). I'm sure we would've been much faster through the basin if we'd had them. With all the new snow, I would say snowshoes will be needed. The south ridge was snowy but we did not use any traction.

Info: A small patch of snow on the S. end of ridge, but it is out of the way and we didnt detour to it. Otherwise, the route is very dry. Anchor-wise, it seems the rodents here love the taste of nylon and polyester. Supposedly the anchors were fine earlier this summer, but we found a few of them suspect. We beefed up a couple anchors with fresh cord and webbing, but I wouldnt assume they'll stay that way. The next group might want to bring 2-3 rap rings and probably another 20' or so of tat to really tighten things up. We also found a few of the rappel lengths listed in online TRs to be a bit short. Expect to use all of 30 m in a few places deemed to be 60'-90'.

Info: A few snowbanks to deal with below treeline. A snowbank/cornice at red buffalo pass that is easily passable on the right. Clear hiking from the pass though we lost the trail. Good luck.
