A delightful eastside backpack for our five-person group without crowds in early summer. We observed surprising abundance and variety of wildflowers, birds, insects and magnificent canyon scenery along series of connecting trails extending from Teepee Trailhead to Oregon Butte Lookout, Indian Corral and Panjab Creek in area quickly recovering after recent 2021 fire in SE WA Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.
A three-day climb of Mount Logan in the heart of the North Cascades.
A successful climb of the South Ridge. The snow level is significantly lower than past years with nearly no snow on the approach.
Beautiful, challenging climb with outstanding people!
Beautiful day paddling south sound Steilacoom to Anderson Island Jacob's Point Park. Saw a few planes from the JBLM air show (hoped to see more).
The South Fork of the Skokomish River drains a large area of the Olympic National Forest. A mixed use (hiker, horse, bike) trail runs along the valley, through stands of old growth fir, cedar and hemlock. This is a nice five mile section which can be hiked out and back. We recorded about 1300 feet elevation gain.
This is a very nice snow/rock scramble in the North Cascades SE of Mt. Baker. This trip has all the elements that are covered in the scramble course, off trail, route finding, rock and snow travel.
A very fun trek with fellow Mountaineers on a gorgeous day!
Strong group, nice views, and oddly almost no mosquitoes on this one.
A delight of class II rapids with nearly constant action. 900 CFS was on the low side, but perfectly runnable with no portages if you pick the right channels.
5 diff venues in 5 days during a relatively calm week along the Northern Oregon Coast... Stay flexible!
A short, steep, and pretty legit scramble with plenty of opportunities to practice scrambling technique.
An excellent, laid back paddle. Great weather and great views of the mountain (Rainier) and the city skyline
A historic attempt to be the first Mountaineers party to climb this bump on a ridge between Church Mountain and Excelsior Peak.
A classic traverse with an even better exit than the standard bushwack
