A strong, competent group of participants and cool temperatures made for a pleasant loop of Esmerelda and Fortune peaks with stunning views of Stuart and early larches. Because of rain, we opted to skip Not-Hinkhouse on the way out.

The weather forecast was not very inviting, but these dedicated and prepared Tacoma CHS students were prepared and hopeful. We made it to the Kendall Katwalk with the sun shining on our accomplishment!!

a "stroll in the park" turned into a mud scramble in the jungle. The "trails" south of the parking lot area are complicated to navigate, especially in the rain.

The face is still climbable, though narrow, making deconfliction of rope teams harder. Lots of pebble/cobble-sized rock fall to be alert to. Beginnings of a bergschrund on the top did not affect the climb. Have to wonder how many more years this will be worth it and safe to climb.

Smooth conditions, a fishing derby, and a naval unit gave us a tremendous leisurely paddle across Possession Sound.

Beautiful weather, awesome view, so many peaks to see. Trai is in good condition, but there are 3 or 4 large fallen trees that should be removed. Lots and lots of switchbacks. Restroom at trail head is closed but one at west end of parking lot is open. Note: some other hikers on trail got stung by yellow jackets. The alternate route shown on gaia and caltopo must be a snow route. Do not use this.

The newest trail in the newest wilderness area in Washington state. Situated on a west-facing slope adorned with meadows and, on a clear day, views of Glacier, Sloan, and Kyes peaks from the summit.

A fun, bolted alpine route with a bouldery crux move.

We camped two nights at Sand Point, and made a day trip north to the Wedding Rocks and the petroglyphs on the shoreline.

A gorgeous ‘out and back’ scramble to vast meadows and breathtaking views in Cowlitz Park (Point 6859 in the SE portion of Mount Rainier National Park).

Glacier quite broken up, summit not attained and unlikely for other parties unless speedy and highly motivated

A fantastic alpine climb and good teaching vehicle that will require the full quiver of alpine rock skills.
