Julie, Fran, Fred, Keith and I followed the Sawyer River trail for a short while before turning right on a snomo trail and following that for a few minutes until we crossed a bridge. Heading on a 75 degree bearing through wide open woods, we eventually came up to the steep SW slope of Green's Cliff. Traveling to the NW for a short while, we soon found a way up to the ridge which we then followed through mostly open woods until reaching the SW corner of the summit ridge crest. Turning to the NE, we walked through wide open woods until encountering a thick/scratchy section for about 10 minutes before reaching the summit register. Initially unable to open the bottle, Keith used a lighter to melt the ice under the cap. The contents dated back to the late nineties. A new bottle, with notepad, (along with the contents of the old bottle) was hung up. The old bottle was left hanging.
BW conditions were close to ideal: 8-10" fluffy snow on a a consolidated base. Much better than last week's granular snow.
