Good weather and good company on Jackita Ridge.
Good weather and good company on Jackita Ridge.
Successful trip! All group members demonstrated commitment, skill, and flexibility.
An unnamed summit as well as many marmots on this gorgeous tour of Wilson and Van Trump Parks (and the cleaver between). A great workout on this counter clockwise traverse which included a cooling visit to Comet Falls and a final bit of exploration along the Nisqually River.
Nice cool weather day for this trip with top-notch Mountaineers!
Fantastic moderate multipitch climb along a knife-edge ridge with outstanding views of the North Cascades and Picket Range.
Water flowing south of high camp at 7,600 feet. No crevasse hazard to speak of. Rockfall hazard from the cliffs above the upper Whitman glacier. Loose scree in the exit gulley at 10,800 feet must be avoided, as it could slide onto the glacier.
Perfect weather to enjoy the best trail in the state!

Perfect weather day, great time on a fun route with lots of opportunities to practice different alpine rock skills.
Everyone thought it was a great day to hike at Paradise!
Superb granite climbing in a superb setting with a very lucky forecast.
Counterclockwise paddle around Burrows and Allan Islands from Washington Park
Wonderful trip, great weather, a good variety of water conditions to learn in, nice lunch spot at the lighthouse, opportunity to practice rescues in a beautiful cove, terrific leaders!
It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day on lovely Hammersley Inlet that is always full of surprises!
Our 4 day adventure began and ended in Saratoga Passage and along the way we were lucky enough to see the entire shoreline of Whidbey Island. Just keep the island to your left and you can't go wrong!
Early start scramble hampered by a misty fog and busy trail head. Finishing with great views and a photogenic Marmot
Beautiful basin with wildflower slopes leading up to the PCT intersection where there are fantastic views both East and West including Mount Rainier, Upper Crystal Lake and Sheep Lake
Great Three-day, two night on the Wonderland Trail from Longmire to Westside Road. Perfect weather and conditions.
A sub 24-hour overnight, off-pavement Bikepacking tour of the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail from Cedar Falls Trailhead to the Cold Creek Campground on Keechelus Lake.
Keyport marina is a good launch spot. Consider going on a strong ebb and returning on a strong flood like we did (near Full Moon, or New Moon). Stopped at Bloedel Reserve natural waterfront for lunch.
