Wow, another great sail, another late season showing for the Gray Whale repeat visitors. We had a pleasant sail in 7 to 12 knots of wind, made all points of sail and had 45 minutes of whale watching wind the wind finally die.
Stellar route and crew for a special trip.
not much snow till will over 4k, excellent snow on the ridge to summit
Long, strenuous, but beautiful trip to Mt. Jupiter with great views of The Brothers, Mount Constance, and eastern Olympics.
Birds, wildflowers and views on a hot day.
A nice trip in less than ideal snow conditions to a Rainier 100 peak with outstanding views and lots of solitude.
Originally scheduled as a scramble up Hibox, plans had to change when the road to Hibox proved to still be snowed in. After digging out a car, we headed to Alpental and climbed East Snoqualmie and Guye Peak instead.
A wonderful trip up a seldom climbed mountain in the heart of the Snoqualmie Pass region. Evolving conditions required several changes to our plans.
A full value early season alpine climb in a picturesque setting. Our team of four enjoyed a scenic camp at the partially frozen Colchuck Lake, solitude on the route, and epic views of the Stuart Range.
Another glorious sunset hike above, through, and past Lincoln Park to Lowman Park. This 4.1 miler had us lingering at the beach.
The Central Pacific Region of Costa Rica which encompasses a variety of habitats distributed in different zones of life from the ocean level up to 3000 ft. We explored the area to observe and take pictures of birds, plants, animals, insects and the food of the region.
A true back country scramble, which the pacific northwest can offer. With a total of 10 minutes on the trail, 4 hours of walking through tree falls, bushwhacking, snow under trees, opening up to a snow field, rock scramble and a mellow knife ridge finish at the end. Overall beautiful views and great trip.
Excellent conditions on a less-popular route.
Single push attempt up Gibraltar Ledges and down Ingraham Direct.
