| Fantastic hot weather with a nice breeze made for a fun scramble to the summit with Stefan Hampden, Zander Nosler, and Mila. Annie Reese, Julie Hampden, Megan Finaly, Blue and Ivy sunned themselves on the saddle, providing rescue back up and moral support. The scree skiing was a blast on the descent, the slump camp was a golden find by Stefan (water, clear views of Gargoyles and Hood Canal bridge, and a tree for hanging food!), and the riverside hiking was lush and cool. Note that there was some snow on the Poop Out Drag (steep section of trail above Shelter Rock Camp), dry trail to Camp Mystery (where a few tent-size patches had melted out), and snow beyond (someone else reported 5' at Marmot Pass). |
