The past week I spent climbing at Washington Pass in the North Cascades. It was great to have some time off from work to relax and reconnect with my personal climbing. WA Pass is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to, it seems strange, but every time I go to a new place in Washington I seem to think that it is amazing. I spent 7 days climbing nonstop and I came back to Ashford completely exhausted but rested and replenished at the same time, climbing is strange like that. I have a lot of great pictures, but my camera and computer are at a friends house in Seattle so I will post some later when I go to pick up my computer. I arrived back in Ashford around 2 am and had to work the next day. George actually called me on the way back and asked if I could go up early the next day and climb the mountain to do some work on the route, so I woke up and did route work all day then met up with the rest of my clients that night. So I was fairly tired to start the climb and it went down hill from there. We had an epic summit day; no one else stood on top of the mountain that day except for my crew if that tells you anything. But we all made it up safely and made it down with 10 fingers and toes which is always good, and everyone was really happy with the trip which is even better. I think I have around 15 summits so far for the summer. I have only 4 trips up Rainier left and I am excited that the summer is almost over, it has been good, but I am ready to do some of my own climbing and and am even more excited for my Rock Course in October.
