Successful climb of Mt Baker via Easton Glacier
Gorgeous day for the 6 of us to climb Slippery Slab
Shuksan from High Camp with photos and coordinates for the solar toilets!
Successful one-day climb of the West Ridge of Forbidden Peak.
Strenuous 1-day climb of Mt. Daniel involving thoughtful navigation and high hopes to access the Lynch Glacier
Sunshine, porpoises, orcas, and good times! A great overnighter raft-up with four vessels in Manzanita Bay.
Good tread, super views, almost no snow on the route and a short easy scramble from the hiker's summit.
10 scramblers had an enjoyable day on Bryant Peak, although smoky skies limited the views.
Launched from the boat ramp at Conner Waterfront Park and paddled down the Swinomish Channel to Goat Island where we took a short break to explore the ruins of Fort Whitman. Continued counterclockwise around the island then headed east along the south side of the jetty and cut back to La Conner through the fishway. Waves from lots of motorized boat traffic provided plenty of fun along the way. Saw many eagles, blue heron, harbor seals and a few kingfishers.
Cancelled because of wildfires in the area.
A very long 18 mile/18 hour day up Kyes Peak, involving complex navigation and bushwhacking but also gorgeous views and scenery
Long 1 day to 3 Rainier 100 peaks: Andrew Benchmark, Tokaloo Rock, and Aurora Peak
A strenuous, yet fun, North Cascades outing! Great conditions.
A very strenuous but gorgeous, immersive, and varied alpine traverse to areas seldom visited by other humans. A trip with the flavor of a Bailey Range - Olympus traverse, but much shorter at 3 days, that included stunning vistas from Gray Wolf Ridge, a challenging but relatively low hazard ascent of Mt Deception (2nd highest peak in the Olympics), and a downhill visit (the best kind ;) of the majestic Royal Basin on our return to civilization.
We had a change of plans so instead we went to Little Si because one hiker didn't have the correct shoes. It was a very fun hike nonetheless.
