    Eldorado Peak 2022

    As July turned into August, Jenny West and I worked our way up to the Inspiration Glacier and then summited Eldorado Peak. It is during one of the more regular heat spells that come that way more often these years. As time passes, I start to count nights in the alpine more than summits visited...

    Glacier Peak July 2021

    I use a waterproof Nikon Cool Pix point and shoot. My not so big secret is take lots of pictures and edit the best (Crop, sharpen) with Google's primitive Photoshop. While a permit for the Enchantments (A relatively small but beautiful part of the Alpine Wilderness near Seattle) can be...

    Glacier Peak July 2021

    Glacier Peak is the only deep wilderness volcano in the northwest. At over 10,000 feet and many miles from the nearest road, it is a commitment. I climbed the twenty mile round trip route, from the west, via the Stikum Glacier, in 2 fast days in 1998. It was a delight and I knew I wanted a...

    Colchuck Peak 7/10-12/2019

    After Ingells, with the weather still bad on the crest, Jenny and I moved along to the Enchantments, a place we had been 9 years before. We got the permit easily as we were not looking for a through hike this time. Last time we climbed Dragontail and Prusik. This time we were looking to do...

    Mt. Ingalls 7/7-9/19

    I have done the N. Ridge on Stuart twice and what a classic. The W ridge on Stuart is worthy too and have done that one a couple of times too. If you find yourself nearby again, the E. Ridge on Ingalls is wonderful too (As is the East Peak).

    Black Hole 1-1-20

    The timing for the "talk" about preparations and plans for the New Year's Day Black Hole descent, is a New Year Eve tradition. It requires patience and proper timing. Too early and many folks going have not arrived yet. Too late and those that imbibe, during the evening, are not fully "present"...

    Fat Man's Joy 12-25-18

    The noise began, right after what some in our group called "The debacle." The cry of "next year in Keyhole" echoed among the participants in last year's attempt to descend Heaps, on Christmas Day. An adventure that led us to edge of the precipice and back again and an escape back up to...

    Happy New Year.......we wake organize and drive past Hite. The road is icy in spots as we run through the car shuttle. I mean....man, it is COLD!! Temps in the high teens and that 10 MPH breeze is cutting right through me. There is no casual socializing. We assemble the crew for the obligatory...
