IMG_3194.JPG24 viewsWe contoured north, northwest to the benches leading down to Twin Lakes, descending the ridge, behind which is seen the right one third of the northern of the Twin Lakes. The ridge becomes exposed in the lower section. We descended into the main drainage to the south, working back toward the notch. It might be easier to contour from the notch all the way to ridge which descends to the saddle between Twin Lakes and Toxaway Lake, then descend using the trail, bypassing Twin Lakes completely.

IMG_3532.JPG24 viewsTraversing the east side of Goat Lake seemed much more difficult than it had the day before. It's already 6:40 pm, and we have not reached the outlet. We ended up reaching our car at about 10 pm, a much longer descent than I had estimated. It was a long day, but a fantastic one-- and not the first time we returned to Iron Creek trailhead after dark!

IMG_7901.JPG24 views2 miles southwest as the crow files, North Raker is the unmistakable shark fin centered on the mid-distant ridge. No easy route on this peak; grade 3, class 6. Outstanding view while ascending to Ingeborg Lake above Spangle Lake in 2013.
