Beautiful views and great company! But a scary steep snow approach and heinous mosquitoes. Still worth it!
3-day climb of Glacier Peak & Disappointment Peak with the best climbing team and weather you could hope for! Day 1: TH to high camp (7,200'), Day 2: High camp to Summit to White Pass, Day 3: White pass to TH
Snow covered approach. Overcast with threatening clouds.
B3 course recon: Decent weather on the 4th July weekend
Scramble up to Sweet Peak and then up the ridge to Florence Peak. No views, but the weather was cool and dry making today's scramble rather pleasant.
We hiked in by the Upper Trail and out by the Lower Trail . There were great views of Goat Lake , Cadet Peak , waterfalls , and beautiful forest . There was no rain.
Pleasant beginner's 13mile round trip backpacking along the Suiattle River to Canyon Creek campsite. Day trip extensions to walk further on south and north PCT trails.
Great one-day glacier climb, perfect conditions and weather window. More snow on the route than usual made for easy travel.
This was a beautiful trip in late June featuring blooming Rhododendrons and fields of wildflowers. There was a semi challenging creek crossing that was best completed with trekking poles.
Great early summer climb with an excellent group!
Excellent location for this field trip. The bolted anchor setup is perfect to execute the counter-balance rappel to intermediate bolted anchor and tandem rappel from that anchor to the ground.
