Day Hiking
Successful
Successful summit up the Jefferson Park Glacier, across the knife-edge ridge, and up the summit pinnacle.
A scramble needing good navigational skills and optimum conditions for best results
Rescheduled from the Brothers. A routine early season climb, with lots of snow.
Gorgeous vistas of Rainier, a good variety of terrain and skills, plus a nice workout at 4400’ gain.
Hiked to the junction and then the bump on the ridge. Ideal conditions, ideal group, perfect timing for the destination.
A very alpine experience on Kangaroo Temple!
Hiked summer trail. Snowing in the morning, sunny in the afternoon. Cold climb.
What looked like it might be a slog and struggle turned out for the much better. Though where was everyone else?
South Climb Route this year had less snow than last yer
Ski tour of Little Tahoma on Sunday, May 27 on one of the most spectacular May days I've had in a while.

Wonderful evening hiking to a beautiful waterfall.
Good trip, strong partners up in 5 and half hours. Coming down was challenging due to icy and desire to avoid folks climbing the Pearly Gates.
The snow is almost entirely melted out except for the last steep section to reach the summit.
Very nice snow scramble, but too cloudy for ideal views.
Fun scramble on the rock up to the summit, then descended the steep snow on the north face and traversed back to the lower ridge approach trail.
