This picture was taken on the way up Glacier Peak. If you stare
into the picture long enough you will feel like you are soaring above
the clouds – just like you are climbing. Of course, if you stare
into the picture that long you probably should be doing something
else.

***TRIP REPORTS***
Stories and pictures from rambling and climbing in the Cascade Mountains. I post as "Roald" - you'll have to ask or guess why. Also, the "UW Medical Center" trip report explains why the number of reports have decreased these past two years.

(In 2007, I saddled up to turning 50 with a little climbing project: Climb my 50th among Washington's Top 100 mountains. This meant climbing 27 Top 100 mountains in one summer. Here are some reports from that project.)
Snowfield Peak – a snowy start
Six Top 100 Peaks (plus Dumbell and Greenwood) in two days
Big Craggy and West Craggy – rambling in open country
Gardner and North Gardner Mountains – a blitz into a corner of the Cascades
Golden Horn and Tower Mountain – "territorial views..."
Cardinal/Emerald bike/hike – "Where's the bike?..."
Pasayten Peakbagging – trash talking all the way
The last in my "50 at 50" project: Raven Ridge and Hoodoo Peak - Finished!!!
Other stuff:
Climbs,
hikes, and mountain bike rides Older pictures of some outings in
