Kevin and I took the first major drainage up Pilot Mtn, where we ended up on the left side
of the "impenetrable wall". A quick traverse around the bowl, and we were able to cut up
through it. After that, we encountered a miserable scree slope, then some fun scrambling
toward the top.
|
|
On our descent, we headed toward Mt. Brett. This was taken after descending back through
the "impenetrable wall". Basically, the ascent route goes up the left skyline ridge.
|
|
This picture was taken from Mt. Brett's ridge, but it shows the angle of the ascent ridge for
Pilot. You just go up the left skyline ridge.
|
|
As you approach the summit, you have to go up a few "fun" areas. Here we see Kevin making
his way up. The rock was a bit loose in areas, so we had to be careful.
|
|
Between the fun spots, we had to walk up scree. Yuck.
|
|
Eventually, we made it to the summit. In the background, you can see the summit of Mt. Brett.
|
|
From the summit of Pilot Mtn, you have a nice view of Mt. Ball.
|
|
Across Redearth Creek, you can see the ascent route up Copper Mtn.
Basically, it's a straight shot to the summit. In the far background, toward the
right, you can see Mt. Temple.
