Summer is in full swing and with that we’ve been on lots of adventures here in the PNW! So we figured we would stop for a moment and share some of our favorite ones (if you’ve been following us on Instagram you’ve seen a lot of them!).
First was our glacier camping and then summit trip up Mt Adams this year. Mt Adams is always a fun location to go grab some good mountaineering experiences. It has a lot of fun and challenging hiking areas, beautiful sites, and an amazing summit trek!
We also climbed Mt Hood this year too! Mt Hood was incredibly steep and far more technical than most people realize. Besides having to bring extra snow pickets and ice tools, it was an incredible experience- especially when you realize that you are inside of a volcano’s crater and you are climbing up the crater wall (unlike Mt Adams, St Helens, Rainer, or Baker where you are climbing up the outside of the crater!).
We did a lot of rock climbing in the Leavenworth area which is always amazing in its versatility and in the amazing views. But one thing some people miss out on because they get so mesmerized by the views is the amazing community of climbers out there! There’s no other place in the world like it!
We recently got back from a great trip outside of the PNW and meet up with some adventurers in Joshua Tree and got to climb some amazingly awesome crag routes! It’s a mystic place already when you look around and realize that this is one of the few places in the world where the Joshua Tree exists but then add to it the amazing rock routes and a person’s mind gets blown!!!
The rest of this month and going into August we are looking forward to joining some more amazing adventurers in climbing here in the PNW at Mt Erie and Leavenworth, along with doing some hiking up in the Nachez Trace area!
So what are some of your favorite adventures so far this summer? Let us know and we’ll post them to our page or tag you on instagram!
