A great conditioner and a valuable experience dealing with less than ideal circumstances.
A rigorous, sometimes-grueling, and unforgettably rewarding traverse full of breathtaking views and widely-varied terrain. Over four days and three nights we wound our way through a remote and challenging maze of ridges, valleys, basins, and cols, summited four peaks (Baldy, Gray Wolf, Gray Wolf South, and Deception), and, until the last day of the trip, saw no other humans.
An easy trip to visit a Rainier 100 peak and see some wildflowers. Bonus great views from a provincial peak on the way.
An unexpected gem in the NE corner of Mountain Rainier National Park, this gorgeous loop scramble (T1, S3) has expansive meadows and stunning views in all directions.
A two day climb of Sahale/Quien Sabe Glacier with perfect weather.
Beautiful day, great scenery, got to the top of a mountain.

With the air mostly clear of smog from the cities & vehicles along with no wildfire smoke, the visual impact of Grand Park is something not to miss, right now.
After-hours conditioner to Little Bandera for dinner. Last half-mile is (easy) scrambly in places, making this a sort of scram-hike.
One day push of Black Peak. 19 hour day that could have been a 16 hour day but overall a successful and fun trip with surprisingly good climbing for low 5th class!
Welcome to the world of bugs! Beautiful views from Rainier to Glacier. Mixed rock and snow route.
Great hike with beautiful lake and stream views.
Successful early season climb with significant snow coverage.
One day traverse of the middle Tatoosh including Unicorn, Foss, The Castle and Pinnacle.
Great weather despite iffy weather reports. Turned around due to bergshrund right underneath summit block. Beautiful day regardless and will definitely come back again
