Pleasant, fun ridge scramble of a Rainier 100 peak and graduation of four Tacoma Scrambling students.
Epic one-day scramble of Washington’s second highest peak with perfect conditions and great camaraderie.
Hot, sunny, beautiful climb up Ingalls with some snow above the pass.
Magical overnight trip in the Goat Rocks wilderness
Trip is S4, T4, maybe T5 in a couple of spots. Fun routefinding from the east peak to the main summit. Route is flagged/cairned to the ridge, with short sections of snow remaining, and some bushwhacking.
A strenuous scramble with rewarding 360° views on the top
Route to Whitman Crest is in good shape. Snow free campsite and running water nearby. Direct route on Fryingpan Glacier with no open crevasses.
A hot, but scenic day exploring the perimeter of the Nisqually Delta, Ketron Island and Oro Bay on Anderson Isle.
Great day out at washington pass!
Strenuous hike on a hot day with only dappled shade, but the views along the way, the wildflowers, and the magnificent view from the top of the pass made it worth it!
Snow conditions appeared to be worse than what they actually were. Best climb all year
Good climbers trail available to ascend to saddle between Guye and Cave Ridge
Perfect conditions for a student paddle from a lesser used launch site.
Beautiful area, climbed Banshee Peak and Cowlitz Main Chimney
Lost the rain lottery but gained a friend! Snow mostly melted out in the middle, lower and upper trail clear.
A gorgeous early summer scramble with acres of meadow roaming when other venues are still snow covered. The flowers were just getting started on this 4000’ gain/10 mile traverse [Lead photo by Jesse Bengtsson].
A fun sport route up Chair Peak with ample opportunity to bask in Snoqualmie splendor.
Fun overnight trip of Big Chiwaukum with great company! Would rate as a 5 except for the cold summit!
