FKT: Jeret Gillingham - Twin Sisters Traverse (WA) - 2023-07-05

Been wanting to take a shot at this one for a while. Did it north to south as a day trip a couple weeks ago and had a ton of fun. Came back with taped ankles and more fuel and decided to rip it! Bonked pretty hard 2 miles in and super underestimated the initial climb. Stopped for a second before the scramble and questioned whether or not I should continue but I figured I’d at least give it an attempt. Snow field was fine, glad I had an axe and micro spikes because I did end up self arresting (controlled & intentional) but it would have been way scarier without it. 1 L water and 4 gels were just enough but the bare minimum I’d bring for fuel. Overall super fun route and I’ll certainly be back!
