Scrambling
Successful
Misty day with lots of ripe blueberries. We spotted 6 mountain goats on a nearby hillside.
Beautiful area and definitely worth the hike. Be prepared for variable weather. Was quite chilly up there, 41 degrees, with fog and mild breeze. The road is rough/washboard surfaced so choose one's transport vehicle with that in mind.
Seattle Branch hike to summits of Mt. Beljica and Gobblers Knob with 6 hikers starting from the Lake Christine trailhead.
Turned Around
Good weather. We were diverted to Joyce due to a wreck on Hwy 101, so we diverted to the Spruce Railroad and hiked for an hour on Lake Crescent until wreck was cleared and 101 reopened.
A successful climb on August 27-28th with two rope leads and three Basic students.

Fantastic views on the this trip, but some of the approach is rough. Get important info on correction to summit route.
Long hike through the PCT brings you to an other-worldly martian wasteland on your approach to Washington's most remote peak. Difficult hike in, dangerous crevasse conditions, beautiful mountain.
Combo climb with strong group of climbers.
Seattle Branch backpack with six participants for a four day clockwise traverse of the High Divide loop.
Lovely hike and scramble up the SE Ridge on Daniel, unfortunately the clouds came in for the last 500 feet to the summit so no views at the top but great views the rest of the day.
Awesome day-trip to climb the Tooth. Great weather; 9 hours round trip from trail head.
A worthwhile climb, despite the distance from Seattle. Strenuous, but every pitch is fun.
