Turned around on Forbidden Peak due to route congestion
An interesting and scenic paddle with that can be timed to take advantage of currents.
Climbed/Skied Gilbert peak via Mead Glacier - TR here because approach is same as Conrad Glacier and Meade is not an option in Mountaineers DB
Turned around due to unstable snowpack leading to avalanche concerns and a summit block that is still covered in snow and ice. Made for a great weekend backpacking trip with fantastic views and a surprise thunderstorm instead.
Great day to hike, perfect weather. Arrive early at trail head for parking it was crowded. Composting toilets are open, first time in a few years the one's at Lower Lena have not be locked. Bridge still out but there is a log we watched people cross. Would love to have forest service put a bid out for a new bridge to replace the old one! First bridge you cross was 1993 , second one 1991 built. They are still standing strong !
Nice day for a Hike! long time on dirt road, but nice wildflowers along the way made it interesting.
Successful climb of Liberty Bell/Southwest Face.
A fun day scrambling up a snow slope and an easy rock pitch. 5,400 feet elevation gain, 16hrs car to car (3am-7pm), 1 mountain goat.
Successful mid-week climb of the basic alpine route of Dragontail.
One day spring trip attempt of Silver Star Mountain via Silver Star Glacier/Burgundy Col. Team turned around due to time.
Changed destination from French Cabin Mountain. This easy alternative was a very pleasant trip with limited views but a nice variety of wildflowers.
We enjoyed dinner in the woods on a lightly raining evening.
A great evening hike in a dense second growth forest with a view of Lake Sammamish.
Snow scramble up Double Peak from Deer Creek trailhead.
Surprisingly good weather and good snow conditions, a scenic route for such a short scramble
A successful climb after a change of venue during a short window between spells of rain and cold - dry trail and hard snow on approach, dry rock and mild weather during the climb.
Enjoyable scramble of a peak which is not done often.
Solid Glacier travel with minimal crevasse openings at this point in the season.
