A stunning sunrise paints Johannesburg Mountain and the Cascade River Valleys, seen from Sibley Creek Pass, near Hidden Lake Lookout in the North Cascades.

Navigating the tilted slabs of The Triad's east ridge, a challenging approach to its summit, with the distant, snow-capped Mount Baker as a backdrop.

From The Triad, a panoramic view of Backbone Ridge, Dorado Needle, Eldorado Peak, and The Triad's east peak, with snow-capped Boston Basin summits in the distance.

A layered view from Johannesburg Mountain to Hidden Lake Lookout, where ridgelines recede into a hazy blue horizon, showcasing the rocky peaks of the Cascade River Valleys.

Third and final technical climb of last season!
