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.
Although drizzling and foggy, without any views, the route was beautiful with the verdant canopies and (slightly less than) moderate incline. Intermittent conversation with periods of solitude made for a perfect first hike in the Olympics.

Scramble to Lichtenberg via the NE ridge, dropping just below the summit traversing to the saddle on the SE ridge for our final approach.
Nice hike, really rough road, snow at lake, pack your ten essentials!
Foggy start to the first full day of summer, but views from second summit finally materialized.
A one-way trip from Granite Mountain along the ridge to Low Mountain and out Denny Creek Trail
