this was a nice tour of the mouth of the Budd Inlet and the surrounding points of land. It isa great orientation trip for those new to the Boston Harbor part of the sound.

Turned around due to conditions. Great conditioning hike!
Long single-day scramble, exhausting & rewarding.
route in excellent shape. lots of places to find drinking water on approach all the way to ingalls lake, still some snow on the approach, so used ice axes some. road blocked and closed a mile before the trailhead.
Great Climb- we left the cars at 6:30AM and returned at 4.
With unfriendly weather in the forecast, the goal was changed from Central Cowlitz Chimney to Skookum, on the divide between the Cle Elum and Teanaway river valleys
Students took 2 falls each on cams and nuts. No injuries.
Early season attempt via Jefferson Park. Turned around due to rime ice on the knife edge ridge and summit block.
A sunny day hike east of the Cascade Crest, with no major trail or road issues.
This was an early CHS 1 Hike and all the hikers were well prepared and completed the hike
Nice day out on the Beckey Route. Did not do the combination with Concord Tower due to time and condition issues.
Successful climb of SEWS S Arête in true alpine conditions.
This trip was to be Stevens Peak but due to the weather it was changed to Bills Peak. We followed the standard route.
A very wet but successful climb, coming in from Bedal Creek.
A damp day, but a nice hike with wildflowers beginning to pop out. Worth doing even without views.
Excellent hike if you go at the right time. We had no snow on the trail, only a few blow downs to dodge, lots of wild flowers and cool weather.
