Cowlitz Rocks from Paradise
We had intermittent low visibility all day, without the GPS navigation
might have been a challenge, the nearby landmarks weren't always
obvious. The route we took was mostly a snowshoe with one short
section of easy rock scrambling around 7,040' on the ridge SW of Cowlitz
Rocks. The summit itself was a walk-up with cornices and a steep drop
off on the east side.
