Great Trip! Awesome Wilderness! Glacier Travel! Ton's on animals and plant life! If you haven't tried Gaia GPS for iPhone or Android you need to check it out on your next trip (replaced my GPS completely with offline maps on Gaia)
B3 overnight of the Ozette triangle, campsite at Yellow Banks
Turned around since a member of our party was struck by a very large rock on approach.
Great trip but beware of heat and sun exposure above the tree line, there was absolutely zero wind even at the highest point. Bugs were an issue in the morning and afternoon but relented in the evening. The B-17 crash site is an amazing experience, but don’t plan on spending more than 30 minutes due to mosquitoes.
Exciting trip that involved a tough backpack in on a hot muggy day, followed by thunderstorms at night, another thunderstorm before we even got started climbing, a challenging scramble of Del Campo... but we had fun!
The weather was perfect for our paddle and coastal hike.
The Summer route is in full force, go early and avoid the heat, there is still lots of water available so you can carry less and bring a filter .
I stepped in for Andy Cahn as leader as he injured his ankle the prior day. Beautiful hike to summit then much tougher conditions from there.
End of July successful 2 day climb of Clark / Walrus Glacier.
A fun, safe and successful climb of the Disappointment Cleaver route on a blustery summer weekend.
The much miss-understood Pigeon Peak, a challenging scramble for those serious about the Rainier 100. Not that far and not that high, just a whole lot of brush.
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.
