The NE Arete is a great climb, but the West Ridge is an extremely loose and fairly hazardous boulder field.

Pleasant paddle in excellent conditions to Raft and Cutts Islands launching from the Fox Island Bridge.
Ski tour up to Whitman Crest. Hiked to Summerland, booted (in ski boots) up to below Meany Crest, roped up, and then skinned up and across the Fryingpan Glacier to Whitman Crest. Scrambled the summit and had a great ski back down to where we hung our shoes.
One day Stuart trip, weather was perfect but lingering snow on Stuart slowed us down.
Summer scramble in little visibility and late, lingering snow.
Great rock scrambling and fun cols, get there early before the sun!
Baring lives up to its reputation of a steep and beautiful scramble.

Do not go here in July, save it for the fall.
Our first Kitsap Park S24O bikepacking trip was a success! Great weather, great small team, great conversations, good biker campsite at Kitsap Memorial SP and a route that could be improved but overall offered some challenge and variety! Timed the ferry perfectly and Edmonds-Ferry to Edmonds-Ferry was under 22 hours
Beautiful sunny day exploring this fascinating volcanic landscape with our "sister" club, the Mazamas.
Beautiful evening, trail was brushy but otherwise great condition. Mosquitos were ferocious at the lake. Started running at 5:50pm, arrived at Granite Lake 7:10pm, back at trailhead 8:15pm.
A tough scramble in a remote part of the Pasayten to climb one of Washington's top 100 peaks
It was a perfect sunny day with no bugs. Avalanche Lilies and two kinds of white flowers in the meadow where the lakes are. Some snow left on the trail in the area of the creek crossing. Otherwise the trail is in great condition.
Conditions Update & Successful Summit of SEWS post-rockfall event
Successful summit of Mt Olympus in 4 days. Route is in a great shape, but moat is forming at the base of summit block and may cause some access issues in the next weeks.
