Silver Peak
Sunday, August 15, 2010
One peak per weekend is just not good enough when you’ve missed a whole summer of climbing, so today I returned to the Pass for a jaunt up Silver Peak. This wasn’t so much a scramble as a hike on an unmaintained trail, but it was good for conditioning the climbing legs.

It’s been a long summer of crummy weather and studying for the bar exam, which is why the first peak of the summer (even if it was an easy scramble) was so sweet. Click the picture above to see more images from the day.
Annette Lake
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Last Thursday I did a quick hike up to Annette Lake. The forest walk was cool, but the bugs at the lake were ferocious. I didn’t stay too long, preferring instead to munch on my sandwich as I made a hasty retreat down the trail.
They don’t make bridges like this very often. This one was simply carved out of a big tree that fell down.
Chasing Tigers
Sunday, March 28, 2010
One of the greatest things about growing older is the increasing number of long-time friends you can accumulate. Kelly and I have known each other for more than 10 years, and I think she is one of the most thoughtful, present, kind-hearted women I know. It had been way too long since I last saw her, so when she was looking for a hiking companion today, I jumped at the chance. We took Samba and Alice up West Tiger 3 which gave us plenty of time to catch up on graduate school, urban chicken ownership, dogs & kitties, overcoming the Seattle winter blahs, and plans for the future.
