A perfect fall trip plus a great workout at ~15 miles and ~5000’. This gorgeous traverse spanned a huge variety of multicolored terrain (meadows, summits, tarns/lakes, waterfalls, river crossings), with the Wonderland Trail gently escorting us back to the cars at the end of a long day.
Another quiet and lovely weekend on beautiful Blake Island.
Nice leisurely day, +2.5 scramble grads.
Fun day on the seracs with a great group.
Beautiful evening for a hike and dinner by the falls.
14hr, 33 mile c2c trip with nighttime gravel biking, glacier viewing, glissading, stemming, meadow sitting, bush-hacking, and berry picking.
We hiked this loop hike , including 26 stairways , historic areas , and great views .
A long, three day trip deep into the Pasayten Wilderness in the North Cascades. Climbed Remmel Mountain, Cathedral Peak, and Amphitheater Mountain.
Late season trip up the Kautz ice chute in an unusual year.
Led a fun group of 8 participants (included assistant Travis Prescott) up the north route of Guye on a warm summer evening with an amazing sunset.
Rough road. Panoramic views of the North Cascades from the ridge!
Great workout, 1500 ft of the gain in first couple miles. Amazing views, there were no bugs to speak of when we went on 8-29-21.
2-day scramble of Chickamin Peak
You can’t get much better than this gorgeous alpine loop. A counterclockwise direction (ENE ridge for the ascent, SW ridge for descent) gave us stunning views of Mt Rainier and Little Tahoma for most of the day, albeit with tons of folks on the final trail hike back to the cars.
Successful evening hike up Lil Si! Oleanna’s first official Mountaineers trip!
