Ascent Trip ReportUncertain of route. We had to chop steps in icy snow leading up to top of basin. Probably took wrong gully off the snow d/t difficult access. Scrambled/climbed a couple of unprotectable 4th/low 5th sections before getting into loose scree/sandy gully system. We decided we'd had enough after few hundred feet of this and bailed. Downclimbing and 2 rappels to the snow. Bushwhack out Swamp Creek dropping down from Methow Pass camp on PCT
