Took advantage of a brief weather window (that didn't always stay open) for a one-day climb of Eldorado.
We had a very pleasant Monday on Vesper with good views and no crowds. The scramble was a little more challenging than usual due to a few inches of snow on the rock for about the last 200 veritical feet.
Moderate scramble with stunning views along this ridge run.
Beautiful scenery, dropping snow level, fall colors shared in good company--what better way to end September? Photo credit: Terence Soh

A CHS graduation hike along the Pacific Crest Trail starting at White Pass and going to pretty Shoe Lake.
Beautiful clear weather day for a Car to Car. Fall colours all over will trail past the overgrown sections in great shape. Also an awesome group of people, made us do the round trip in 11.5 hours
A dramatic, beautiful, and strenuous traverse with much first hand evidence of glacier recession (climate change), as well as exposure to the unique route finding skills needed for coping with it. A botanist’s delight, this trip spans the Montane, Sub-Alpine, Alpine, and Nival (Snow) Zones.
Beautiful views and nice larch trees at the small lake camp.
CHS1 graduation hike to Big Heart Lake with 15 miles and 4000' gain. Perfect weather and success for all.
