Rainier

8.3.20: The upper mountain has been changing over the past two weeks with prolonged above normal seasonal temperatures. Paradise trails are pretty much snow free with only a few sections of lingering snow patches. From Camp Muir, there is a climber friendly traverse across the Cowlitz Glacier. From Ingraham Flats, the route ascends around 400' and crosses a series of crevasses before traversing onto the Cleaver. Access onto the Cleaver is straightforward and in good condition. From the top of the Cleaver, the route ascends several switchbacks before making a hard right traverse at 12,800' heading out towards the Emmons shoulder. The traverse is currently in good condition with several fixed pickets for running belays. Overall, the route is well established, easy to follow, and well wanded.

Baker

8.21.20: Mt Baker (Komo Kulshan) is still in excellent condition with teams reaching the summit daily. The trail to Sandy camp is snow free. There is running water at camp. Approach shoes are an excellent choice for the walk up to camp. The Easton Glacier is still in great condition. There is a large crevasse opening up on the Roman Wall ~9,500ft. Teams are able to end run the crevasse by traversing climbers left to a bridge crossing.

Gear Review: Fozzils Bowls

Gear Review: The North Face Phantom 50 pack

By Mike Hawkins “Man, this is a really great pack…” I said it over and over for months until my wife had finally had enough of it. She had to get one for herself. While 50 liters is a little small for most multi-day mountaineering and winter ski tours, the small size is plenty versatile […]
