Ended up getting out into the alpine 14 weekends in a row this season, but finally was rained out this past weekend. I may be able to sneak in one or two more scramble adventures before laying off for the shoulder season while snow accumulates at elevation, and then it'll be time to strap on aggressive snowshoes for winter trekking at elevation.
Most recent trip was the Sawtooth Slam in the Okanagan National Forest, with 25 miles and 7,700 ft gain over three days, touching the tops of Martin, Switchback and Bigelow along the way. Was great spending two nights under the stars, visiting spectacular alpine lakes surrounded by Larch in their golden splendor.
For the next several weekends, if the mountains are socked in, then l will get out on the water, either kayaking or sailing depending on wind.
