Dropping in! One of the wildest parts of climbing the Northwest Rib of #ForbiddenPeak is getting there. Either way you go, you need to make a committing entrance to the Boston or Forbidden Glaciers, rappelling down into entirely different drainage than where you started. Pictured here is the Boston Glacier option, where 2 full length vertical rappels from the knife edge bivy on the North Ridge put you onto the Forbidden Glacier at dawn on summit day. Once you're down all you have to do is climb all the way back up 😁 ⁣ ⁣ No matter where you're at with alpine climbing, from beginner to seasoned pro, there are routes to challenge your movement and fitness in the #NorthCascades. Step up your alpine climbing with us next summer! We'll show you routes in this incredible range that will expand your level of climbing, no matter where you're starting point is. ⁣ Email us to secure dates for summer of 2023!⁣ ⁣ #BlackbirdGuides⁣ #AlpineClimbing⁣ #NorthCascadesNationalPark (at North Cascades National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CinOdRyraP2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here is the Torment to Forbidden Peak ridgeline. I was lucky to climb Forbidden Peak in a day this last weekend and bag one of the 50 Classics of North America; the West Ridge of Forbidden Peak. #forbiddenpeak #bostonbasin #northcascades #northcascadesnationalpark #rockimbing #getoutside #mountains #washington #inadayswork
