An excellent alpine experience in the Olympics with a little bit of everything: groomed trail through movie-set like old growth (check); idyllic camping in flowered meadow (check); 2000 ft plus elevation gain through talus/scree hell and steep snow (check); fourth class rock finish with heart-stopping views (check).

Lots of wildflowers made up for the lack of views

An intense alpine climb under perfect weather.

The climbing was fun and easy; the approach was made difficult because the snow has melted revealing giant talus fields.

Successful early June climb via Leroy Creek basin.

Fantastic group and lots of variety on the trail, but the trail was very overgrown and there were rattlesnakes.

Cloudy conditions with some thunder in the distance once we made the summit. We took a cross country shortcut on the way back that proved to be much more enjoyable than the jeep road.

Beautiful day. Trail was almost completely melted out. We found some snow to glissade and plunge step on the way down off trail.

This is a jewel of a climb. Conditions were perfect for this two day climb of a classic ridge with amazing North Cascade views.

Successful late season climb of Mount Garibaldi. High clearance 4x4 needed to get to the trailhead, large boulders may obstruct the road

A group of eight of us round tripped the SEWS/S. Arete on Saturday in great weather. Great views of lots of inspiring objectives from the top!

Not a speck of trail on this one!

Straightforward scramble from the PCT on a gorgeous day.

A good but and fairly strenuous scramble with a long forest ascent on rough climber's trail leading to heather and then a pleasant mixed snow and rock finish.
