The longest day, Wednesday paddle from Boston Harbor Marina
A fun evening paddle with sunshine and blustery and a little challenging wind.
After work scramble of the Mt Si Haystack for Summer Solstice
Two seldom-climbed peaks above the PCT near Hope & Mig Lakes
A successful climb with some spicy mixed climbing to get us started. Car to Car 10.5 hours.
Yet another early season attempt at Boundary peak spoiled by less than ideal weather and route conditions.
We experienced winter-like conditions on Mount Adams despite it being June. We turned around at 10,592'. Despite the lack of a summit, we learned a lot, had a good time, and most importantly, made it back to our cars safely.
Finally some nice weather in the Olympics!
A 9.6 mile/3005ft ramble probing the snow line on the Pratt Lake trail, the trail down to Ollalie Lake, and up the Granite Mt Trail.
Damp and chilly PNW day with few views but lots of flowers and great company!
Snow scramble in mid June from 4k ft to 5.1k ft. Outlier year: 2022.
Made the most of a dry day with views on the east side! Fun scrambling with such a positive/supportive group and the variety of terrain encountered kept us on our toes throughout (from blowdowns, to creek log crossing, to bare/rocky ground, to snow travel)!
Lots of sailing. Not much rafting up, but we enjoyed our lunch and some darn fine weather.
Marginal snow conditions near the summit led to a decision to turn around. It was a mostly cloudy day, but the clouds were high enough to allow for good views.
Hope Island low tide paddle on a day it was minus 4.7', the lowest in 13 years.
Way more snow than this same time last year. We had intermittent compact snow from .5 mile to the saddle. There was more walking on snow than on trail. Spoiler, we did not summit. First pitch will not melt out for a couple of weeks, if you attempt, bring pickets to protect first pitch.
Perfect evening for a hike. Flowers are blooming and the view was great.
