Nice easy scramble with great views of the North Rainier peaks.
Nice easy scramble with great views of the North Rainier peaks.
we had a great time. fantastic day and only 2 other parties of 2 on the route.
A group of 7 had a great time on a scramble of Bryant Peak on 8/14/16. It was a beautiful day, rather warm but with an occasional cooling breeze, and we spent a nice long break on top, soaking in the views.
Great climb with scrambling, steep snow and beautiful views.
Climbed both Castle and Pinnacle Peaks with a group of 12.
We paddled a clockwise circle, out to Anderson, across to the shipwreck for lunch, then into the most East channel by the RR tracks and cut to the Nisqually river mouth and back to the opverflowing launch.
A successful carry-over climb of the West Ridge with a planned bivy on the descent. However, we were also first on scene for another party's accident.
A classic North Cascades hike, Cascade Pass/Sahale Arm offers hikers the reward of amazing views on a clear day and the test of conditioning over a variety of trail conditions.
Partly cloudy and summer temps made for a pleasant outing for basic and intermediate students up the tooth.
Fun day in the alpine on a scrambly route.
Wonderful trip for first-timers trying to photography the night sky!
Great bike/hike/scramble to a great Rainier vista.
Excellent! Got to try out several new "tricks" for me such as getting up/down from the kayak to a dock, how to exit the kayak close to the shore, but not at the shore so as to avoid breaking ways, review and practice of stern pry, bow rudder as we went thru the bay of Gig Harbor. Very instructional and light and friendly at the time time.
Route finding skills are required on this trip to avoid being cliffed out, particularly when leaving ridge to Cement Lake and then on to Boner Lake
We made the Summits of Wahpenayo and Lane thanks to a competent group of scramblers. Route finding was a group effort, that and good rock skills made for a great trip.
8/13/16 - Hot & strenuous, but rewarding scramble.
