The document describes a hike up Mt. Constance in Washington state. It details the bicycle ride gaining 700 feet in elevation to Lake Constance at 4800 feet. From there it describes the challenging climb up the North Chute, a loose scree-covered slope, for views of the summit block still two hours away. It notes a snack break at the entrance to the difficult Finger Traverse route toward the summit and panoramic views from the top of surrounding peaks before descending back down the South Chute and Avalanche Canyon for an 8000 foot vertical descent back to the car.
