Whoo hoo, what a weekend! There were Bushwhackers all up and down Icicle Canyon. Condor Buttress, Eightmile Butress, Trundle Dome and others. Two eager hikers trekked to the summit of Little Annapurna on Saturday. In Tumwater Canyon, February Buttress and Castle Rock saw Bushwhacker climbing action. The Top Rope Outing was a success, and everyone participating in that had fun.

The Rendezvous camp at Lower Johnny Creek was great. There were a couple dozen people for the campfire and the morning-after pancake breakfast. And there was a family-style gathering at a cabin at the mouth of the canyon, which was very fun.

Yay, Autumn Rendezvous! Next year let's do it again!

The club has two Board of Directors positions coming open. The positions will start in November and will run for two years.

The Board meets once a month, except July and August. We get down to business at the Board meetings, but its always fun.

Please let me know if you would like to be considered to fill one of the two open seats.

Seth, Frederic, Keith and Doxey took a day to go cragging at Tieton's Royal Columns. Frederic and Doxey stayed on the easier stuff, like Western Front and Nimrod's Nemesis, while Seth and Keith took on more difficult climbs. Seth led the roof on Render Us Weightless - wow! And Keith led the area classic Inca Roads. It was a great day out there!

Here is a photo of Keith leading Inca Roads. It's a butt-shot so it won't win any awards, but hey, its Inca Roads. I just had to take a picture!

We have a Board of Directors meeting on Thursday night, September 7. Let me know if you have questions or issues to be raised with the Board.

UPDATE: We had a great meeting. It was fun to reconvene after our summer recess. Summary of minutes are posted under About the Club.
