A hastily arranged trip to mark the return of the Mountaineers to the mountains after the Great Confinement, squeezed between the rain on the west side and the closure of the Teanaway for a fugitive manhunt, we hit the sweet spot! It is great to be back!

Hiked on a misty day so there were no views. Trail is in good shape for early season, some snow on trail above 3500' but passable without traction devices (though poles with baskets help).
A summer climb of the Easton Glacier.
Nice trail fairly close to home and not very crowded on a weekday.
Good workout close to home, but not particularly scenic or pleasant, and definitely not a wilderness kind of experience.
Trail run on Mount Pugh. Turned around on the ridge above Stujack Pass due to loose, unconsolidated snow and incoming storm.
Trail run/snowshoe of Sloan Peak via Corkscrew Route from North Fork Sauk side. Turned around at beginning of Corkscrew due to loose, unconsolidated snow.
Spring attempt on Mount Stone via S Couloir/W Ridge. Turned around just before the summit.
Trail run of the Brothers from Lena Lake Trailhead. 10 hours car-to-car.
Two-day climb of the North Ridge of Baker, followed by a ski descent of the Coleman-Deming glacier route. Perfect spring conditions, two short pitches of ice.
Due to covid-19 restrictions, this Nav Workshop normally held in Goodman A and B in the Seattle Program Center was moved online.
