Sunshine with snow flurries made for a fun day out in the Teanaway
Successful hike up to B-17 wreckage on a quite cool day. Rhodies were in bloom and the group was impressed with the wreckage. Trail is in good condition.
There was minimal amount of snow. Only one person used his ice axe, because he varied off the route slightly from the rest of the group.
A brisk morning sail from Kingston to Edmonds.
Great views of Deception Pass and the Straits. A great early trip when the mountains are still snowed in.
Route conditions, weather, and group-fitness all played a role in providing an insufficient level of suffering.
Found a sunhole all day and great views of the Stuart range and Cashmere
The trail is well maintained, very little brush. Some exposed roots. Beautiful view of Baring Mountain. Lots of camp sites.
Overnight scramble via Williams Creek
The trail is in good condition. forecast said rain, but we had a sunny and dry hike.
A classic climb with a bit of spice. One of Fred Beckey's favorites.
Climbs of Mount Deception and Mount Mystery in early June 2018. Steep snow on both climbs using multiple pickets for running belay. Cornice to get over on Mount Deception. Base for both climbs was Royal Lake.
It's an awesome hike/climb with stunning views and interesting ridge walk/scramble for my first time as assistant leader. So much fun watching students smile making their first ascent.
Terrific early June snow scramble. A lot of snow along the Wonderland has melted out but there is plenty of snow left to allow good kick steps.
A nice day spent with lots of wildlife viewing in beautiful Henderson Inlet
Successful early season climb of SEWS. Winter approach with lots of melting snow and a sunny summit with lots of mountain goat viewing.
