Great, short evening of single pitch cragging. Rocks were dry and we had the whole crag to ourselves! A stick clip would have been helpful in quite a few cases.
Spent a beautiful Easter Sunday on Easter Island on the way to Songbird Peak for an exploratory winter scramble.
Great weather, gorgeous views, and horrible skiing on Mt St Helens!
Spring in the valley, winter at the lakes. Gradually climbing trail with easy tread in second growth forest with occasional views
We completed a loop route , that included 26 stairways . There were great views on this scenic walk .
Dramatic and successful conclusion to series of 8 Wednesday morning "mini-conditioning" hikes during February-March. With increasing elevation gain, started with 3 miles & progressed to 9 miles. Good segue into Spring and beyond with some participants readying for Global Adventures, CHS or becoming a hike leader, themselves. Except for this final trip, snow-free & rain-free conditions ... the Wednesday weather-master was kind. But Grand Prospect was a grand test of our foul weather gear. Second year for this series and may do it again next year.
Great day with a good flow at 850 CFS. Focused on equivalancy today with Logan and Ricardo as part of the instructor group and five students. We found a good spot next to a water fall to practice self rescues, a boulder garden to practice mid stream manauvers and swims next to airplane wave.
A one-way paddle on the West Coast of Whidbey island, from Deception Pass State Park to Libbey Beach County Park. The views and the weather were fantastic.
12 NM "triple crossing" from Fort Casey to Port Townsend to Fort Flagler and return. Mountain views aplenty, pizza and coffee along the way!
3 days and 2 nights of winter camping on Mazama Ridge, with glorious spring-like weather and a day trip to explore the area around Paradise.
Good training hike, not too busy on a beautiful spring day!
Warm sunny day. Water crossings on trail were walkable on rocks. One new downed tree easier to walk under than around.
This was a one-way walk starting at Stan Sayres Park and ending at Rainier Beach Community Center . Parks visited were Seward , Martha Washington , Be'er Shiva and Genesee Parks .
Discovery Park is the largest public park in Seattle. You will see forests, beaches, prairies and bluffs. You can walk the beautiful trails or hang out at the beach! Today we picked the Loop Trail!
The trail is in great condition. A few patches of compact snow remain on the trail above 3,000' but nothing requires additional traction. Conditioner requirements were met by all with an ascent time of 2:03.
Fun day in the sunshine skinning up to Camp Muir with a ski down the Paradise Glacier
Amazing views, sun and snow, and fun team make for a memorable trip.
