The Moat 11477', south aspect, Upper Cedar Creek drainage. The key to a successful ascent of The Moat is making it in good shape to Backdrop Pass 10180', shown on the right. But, either approach- Upper Cedar Creek or Long Lost Creek- is l-o-n-g. Trailless Upper Cedar Creek has intimidating stream flows during early season , thus providing an effective moat for 11477'.
