Seymour Peak (6337')

Seymour Peak (6337') can be accessed a few ways. Since I was camping at Ohanapecosh campground, I elected to bike from my camp site up highway 123 to the Seymour west ridge, accessed right from the road. I stashed my bike out of sight and began the steep forested ridge climb at 8:30 AM, planning on getting the effort part of the bike/hike/bike done before the temperature reached close to the forecast 100 degrees. This was a straight forward climb and non technical, but the angle of the ridge was constant effort. In some ways the descent was more difficult, especially in the footing amongst the forest detritus and pointy sticks. By the time I got back to the bike the temperature was around 90, but minimal pedaling was required to arrive back at my camp site. Seymour is #64 on my Rainier 100 list.
