Went out and tagged my 2nd ever FKT on WA’s 3rd highest peak after getting my first FKT on WA’s 4th highest peak just 4 days ago. This was my first time on Little Tahoma Peak (onsight).
Approximate splits:
Summit: ≈3:36
Down to Camp Summerland: ≈4:53
A lot of things didn’t go according to plan (dropped my phone twice, had to self arrest, sprained left ankle, had a big rock fall on my right ankle, etc) but it all worked out in the end. I recommend 2 ice tools and crampons, I did this with one ice axe and microspikes and that setup was marginal. The last bit of the glacier before getting to the rock scramble near the summit is STEEP.
