Jessica Hewitt's Adventure Story:
Mountaineering in the Enchantments

More about Jessica Hewitt and Washington Enchantments in the Central Cascades, Alpine Lakes Wilderness

A trail runner with a mountaineering habit.
This Enchantments trip took place in the month of May and being there during the transition from winter to spring and summer meant it was freezing and involved a lot of post-holing. 

In the summer, the snow and ice has mostly melted, but anyone going in the fall, winter or spring should be adequately equipped with the knowledge of back country snow travel and safety equipment. Definitely be ready for cold, unpredictable weather, avalanches and rockfall on Aasgard. 

Aasgard pass is the big pass in the Enchantments and involves some steep trail and bouldering. Jessica didn’t have any trouble on this May trip, but she cautions that this shouldn’t be taken to mean that it wasn’t dangerous. In fact, someone broke through the snow and ice layer and died the exact same week of Jessica’s trip.  

Jessica described hearing a scary noise, like a person screaming out, during this trip. She learned that it was only the call of a snow ptarmigan, a bird in the grouse family (pictured above), when she spotted the bird while waiting for her friends to summit.
