Big Craggy Peak, West Craggy Peak — Wednesday, Jul. 16, 2025

North Cascades > Pasayten
West Craggy with route

A few notes to add to previous trip reports:

These peaks should be renamed Big Chossy and West Chossy.  These are the chossiest peaks I have ever climbed.

The shortcut trail which bypasses the copper mine no longer exists

The trail register on Big Craggy is either missing or well hidden

When you drop off of West Craggy, most of the gulleys cliff out, so you need to shift gulleys, generally moving to the right

The valley off of West Craggy, heading towards Copper Glance Lake is filled with talus, so very slow going.

Great views and challenging and long.
