Kate D'Epagnier + Dan Walker

ha ha zero summits. well, Kate did one while I was at the conference. Apparently the week before was quite nice. Whatever happened to the good old days of getting tortured for causing storms?
The Breakdown:
  • Classic Crack in Leavenworth 5.8+ Dan x2 Kate x0.5
  • Snowy Slush hike to Stuart Lake. Visibility = 50ft at clearest
  • Saber In Leavenworth 5.4. P1 only. then had to run up to vancouver for a conference
  • Pilchuck in the snow. Kate x1, Dan at conference
  • Seige of Stuart and Ingalls. Beautiful approach hike with seige gear, followed by rain and snow. Broke trail through some feet of wet snow halfway up Ingalls. Occasional snow release. Turned around before heading up the wrong gully. Stuart? No way. Will have to come back in July.
  • The Tooth P1+2. got wicked cold, windy, and dark. hike down boulder fields in dark with one headlamp (Kate's) for two people.
  • Rainier. sloppy run up to panorama point. but had to back off of the last 9000ft in order to make our flight. (we missed it anyway)
  • Tacoma City Center. $8 for two movies for two people. Sweet!
