Entire group canceled, most citing forecasted temperatures in 90s/hottest day of the year. Not worth the risk of heat stroke. Since there is interest in this destination I will consider reposting.
This trip was attended by all registered participants. No incidents were reported. The weather was hot, but participants drank plenty of water to stay hydrated. We practiced plenty of rescue techniques which helped to stay cool. Many of the participants gathered at Johnny's Dock Restaurant for social hour and debrief at the completion of the trip.
This was a pleasant trip on a beautiful (but hot) day.
We enjoyed dinner outdoors with a view on a hot evening.
A fun, safe and successful climb of the Coleman-Deming route on a great PNW summer weekend.
The trails were in good shape. A few blow downs on the Mt. Baldy Trail, but easy to get around.
They came early but we had a good hour of navigation and bouldering.
The flowers were between blooms; the avalanche lilies were past and the paintbrush were just starting. We arrived at 9:30 to about 10 vehicles. We returned at 2:30 to twice as many vehicles. Trail was buggy but not as bad as I've seen it. The Lake Eleanor camp is closed due to hazardous trees.
Lovely and easy approach on the PCT and the views from the summit are awesome, but the climb itself was mediocre.
Long and steep climbing amid amazing beauty.
Whitehorse summit via east ledges. Rappel across moat.
The standard Mt Stuart Scramble route in three days.
This was a 3-day, 2 nights climb of West McMillan Spire. It was a very strenuous climb of 19.4 miles with 9300 feet of gain. We had a fun and interesting team of 6 “mature” and experienced climbers.
Fantastic approach and route conditions. This is as good as it can get.
An easy to moderate hike to Ashland and Beaver Plant Lakes off the mountain loop highway.
Beautiful hike up to Surprise Lake with CHS hikers on a sunny Sunday. Trail was snow free to the lake.
