We had a nice evening and welcomed Paul to the Mountaineers. A little bit of rain but sunny skies at the top.
A good trip. Perfect hiking temps, few other hikers, tread excellent and no bugs.
Teanaway Peak is one of many outstanding viewpoints in the area, but in a low snow year it may not be an ideal peak for a field trip.
Two 5.8 crack pitches at the beginning warmed us up for a few more cracks, a couple run out slab sections, a 5.7 pair of off-widths, and never-ending exposure and views across the North Cascades.
(repost from last year for a related route/place) An extremely interesting (and strenuous) traverse with an intense variety of terrain, plant life, and geology: the hidden valley on the northern aspect of Tamanos, the unique conditions below the stagnant Sarvant Glacier, the brilliant colors around the Cowlitz Chimney peaks, and the expansive meadows west of Banshee (with Summerland as a bonus).
Need a variety of skills and some luck with conditions to tag this one. Stunning views.
Eldorado is a wonderful basic alpine climb for the aspiring alpinist.
An attempt on classic aid route in Index. Note - The Cheeks area has raptor closure, but not the Davis Holland area.
Perfect day with wonderful team
This was a laid-back and fun backpack up a beautiful valley. It's a great early-season trip.
Beautiful weather made for amazing views at the summit of our hike to Thorp Mountain via the Knox Creek Trail
Fun climb, no crowds.
This clinic was very successful, due in part to the strong participation by the "Students." Sadly, Gabrielle Orsi was sick and unable to attend.
Easy climb on Ingalls South Ridge. Lake still frozen but snow melting fast.
