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.
Two successful climbs of Luahna and Clark (one party of 6 climbed Luahna and the other party of 6 climbed Clark).
A beautiful area, but Silver Lake can be crowded on weekends.
Summit block was covered in snow and shrouded in fog preventing a summit bid. In better weather it may have been possible to ascend the summit block using either running belay, fixed lines with pickets or even belayed climbing but with visibility so low trip leadership determined the difficulty exceeded basic alpine climbing.
Great one-Day backpacking trip to Bean Creek Basin and surrounding areas. Trail and campsite in great shape - wildflowers in abundance.
Great one-night backpack trip to Bean Creek Basin and surrounding area. Good trail conditions and campground in good shape - wildflowers in abundance.
