A surprisingly fun snow/rock scramble in a seldom visited area of the Teanaway.
Route is in! Clear path for the masses to slog up, wanded, hand lines, running belays if wanted.
Fabulous panoramic views and flowerfields - snow free as of 1 July
Three intermediate students led 9 basic climbing students.
Outstanding views, weekend congestion
A bluebird weekend on Little Tahoma with a strong group of 2017 Intense Basic Students.
Current conditions are ideal and well worth the effort.
Successful climb. Left parking lot at 7:20 am, return by 9 pm.
A gorgeous and strenuous ~6000'/15 mile loop with tons of variety: cross country travel, water falls, sweeping glacial views, a bit of rock scrambling, with great plunge stepping and a comfy trail for descent.
Warning! Pilchuck is currently a Class 1 snow and rock scramble until the snow melts out.
Gorgeous early summer loop trip
Glorious views of the Sunset Amphitheater with perfect conditions.
Lovely evening 2.1 mile hike through Mima Mounds. Great to learn about flowers and grasses from knowledgeable leader and participants.
For 3/4 of the trip you leave the crowds of Oyster Dome behind you. Goes through most of the best of Blanchard Mtn.
