Trip went as planned. A little breezy so we opted to paddle the shoreline to Gull Harbor and return. We played in small wind waves surfing. Back before dark, loaded. Everyone had fun.
Successful summit of Three Way, edging our way around weather systems, and enjoying good conversation for the first Mountain-Queers outing.
This trip cancelled due to a family emergency of the leader
Five of us started at the lower trailhead and went to the peak.
We hiked to Elbow Peak over Yellow Hill. A rough trail led to open ridge hiking with extensive views.
Enjoyable evening hike with dinner at a viewpoint.
We were fascinated by the twisted hulks of logging machinery left behind when the mountain blew. Were glad we brought extra water as we hiked through much open area. Some of us swam and waded in Coldwater Lake and found it not that cold in early September.
Guye Peak/West Face will offer bit of everything for a sunny summer day climb.
PCT north from Snoqualmie Pass to Ridge and Gravel Lakes via Kendall Katwalk.
A late season climb up a giant pile of sand
An excellent single day alpine adventure in the North Cascades.
Limited views due to the clouds, but no smoke at least.
Yet another pleasant sail to the exotic Port of Kingston. Aside from the forest fire smoke, it was just about perfect. Though I can't seem to get this crew picture right side up.
Great Weather! No smoke, clear skies. Berries and good rock scrambling up a famous Granite mountain , via a hidden scramble path up a dry river bed
7 scramblers enjoyed great conditions (warm and sunny, hardly any bugs or smoke) while climbing Eagle and Chutla Peaks.
This was a gorgeous trip right to the face of Mount Rainier. Leader was flexible in adapting to needs of all hikers and was very helpful in meeting me for carpooling.
Excellent day with perfect conditions. This scramble served as the final Mentored Lead for Nathan Smith.
