Hiked up to the Tooth on mostly snow past the lake. Climbed the four pitches of the Tooth and rappelled down Pineapple Pass.
Excellent route conditions, very direct route, big crowds
Low tide beach walk with blue heron, bald eagle, shore crabs, mudsnail, several types of unknown algae, lots of littleneck and varnish clams. Views of Jupiter, Constance,Greenhill, and Turner.
Successful scramble of two tough peaks in Mt. Rainier National Park.
Good snow conditions, plenty of tent sites at Lunch Counter on a weekday.
It was a great overnight climb with a safe glacier experience.
Beautiful, remote climb but the route is rapidly deteriorating above 8800’.
Climb turned into overnight gear hike due to weather. Conditions report to white pass
Awesome climb!!
Great, overcast day on SEWS South Arête. Relatively quick climb on a surprisingly quiet route
Successful 2-day carry over on the Kautz ice route to the DC Cleaver.
Foggy, wet day made navigation challenging and Bushwhacking unpleasant
Successful 3 day climb of Boston, NF Buckner, and Horseshoe Peak. Route conditions right now are very favorable but the Cascade River Rd is closed at Eldorado TH.

A real nice sail to Kingston for lunch with brisk winds and sunny skies.
We changed to Mount Ruth due to the Mowich Lake road not being open until the following week. However we had a great time scrambling and skiing Mount Ruth.
Morning whiteout turned into a sunny summit.
