looking for advice re Twin Peaks Pass and Stanton Pass
July 26, 2021 01:52PM
I'm looking for advice about choosing between Stanton Pass and Twin Peaks Pass for traveling from Virginia Lakes to Spiller Creek. Secor calls Stanton Pass Class 3 and Twin Peaks Pass Class 2, which would seem to settle it, but judging from trip reports most people seem to use Stanton Pass, unless they are looking to climb Virginia Peak. Can anyone advise on which is actually easier, and how much of a difference there is? A group of us are planning a week-long backpacking trip out of Virginia Lakes in early August. We are comfortable with cross-country travel and Class 3 terrain, but would much prefer to stick with Class 2 terrain if we can.
