Awesome weather in the state meant awesome views by Rainer and a great day out.
Fast conditions up, hopped a short icefall descending lower Ingraham.
Recent trip reports from work parties indicated a clear trail through about 3.5 miles. After that we were on our own to see how far we could make it prior to being stopped due to fallen trees. We actually made it to within about a half mile of Camp Jolly before turning around.
3 day winter intermediate climb of Stuart / Sherpa Glacier.
A gorgeous day in the sun with cloudless skies and incredible views, north to Baker, Shuksan; south to Glacier Peak, plus even Mount Stuart (if you have eagle eyes ;)!
This was a beautiful sunny day. We all enjoyed the full trails.
The field trip was moved from Rampart Ridge to Narada Falls, due to lack of snow. Most sunny days can guarantee a beautiful trip to Reflection Lake. The group enjoyed the panoramic views and route.
Five Olympia Jr. Mac Mountaineers along with 2 chaperones and a leader successfully completed a conditioning hike in preparation for a possible Mt. St. Helens attempt
Due the Gold Creek sno-park not being plowed -- we skied one of the alternate routes -- Silver Peak
Seven of us enjoyed a snowshoe to great views and lunch atop Kendall Knob on a beautiful, sunny day.
This was my first hike as a new mountaineer member. The leader was delightful, down to earth, and friendly. I liked her very much and got a very good feeling about the mountaineers because of this experience. I am looking forward to more.
