2002 Short Trips:

March:

Snowboarding Diamond Head

Short fun trip to get some sun on the eastern side of the mountains.

Climbing up the slopes of Diamond Head

Enjoying the ride down!

 

April: 

Leavenworth Rock Climbs and Beer

A day trip to Leavenworth is always fun.  We climbed a very overbolted route on condor buttress.  The rock was excellent and there were bolts next to cracks.

Climbing on the nice granite of Condor Buttress

Great shot of Colchuck with a gleaming white coat.

Beers in der are always in order

 

June:

Ruth Mountain

Theron Welch and I climbed Ruth car to car in mid June.  The weather forecast was iffy but we went anyway and were rewarded with some bluebird skies.
