Silver Star Mountain (Okanogan) — Friday, Jul. 9, 2021

Climbed Silverstar today, the creek crossing wasn't bad there is a good tree to walk across and the path is marked with cairns although a little overgrown on both sides of the creek. Bugs were relentless until I reached the glacier. Conditions on the glacier were good. Snow is melting quickly there are a couple of spots melted down to bare glacial ice, these can be avoided for now. I had heard from multiple sources about the scramble at the top. I did not find it too bad. It's 3rd class with perhaps the last 8-10 ft being 4th class although it's very solid rock with good holds just a bit exposed. Gear brought ice axe, boots, crampons, stove to melt snow(I heard there was no water past the col). Gear not used; crampons, and stove(I found a runoff stream near the glacier I marked with cairn)
