The club website has featured Seth's Forbidden Peak banner photo, along with his devils club title image, for more than a year. Thanks Seth!

I recently sent out a call to the club asking for new banner images. Check out the new image above, taken by recent Glacier Course graduate Robert. I asked Robert about the image.

We took that last year, probably sept or oct, on a ridge on Goat Island mountains. We bushwhacked up after leaving the Summerland trail. The shot is looking past Little Tahoma at Disappointment Cleaver. What I liked about the shot (hard to see in this small version) is the fresh dusting of snow that fell the night before.

Philip has submitted a some very beautiful images, and we look forward to featuring them in the coming weeks. In addition, several other Bushwhackers, including Shauna and Steve, have expressed interest in participating. Let's have those banner images, folks! Looking forward to it!

The Club has completed two Mount Rainier outings, both a big success in every way. The first, led by Philip, went to the top of the mountain with a team composed of graduates from this year's Glacier Course, as well as a couple from last year. The second team, led by Doxey, was composed entirely of this year's graduates. Everyone did a great job, overcoming obstacles, and enjoying the camaraderie of their team in the wilderness. Way to go!

The Basic Glacier Climbing Course is complete for this year. We had 15 graduates. One person had to drop due to illness but he will complete next year. Great job, folks! The instructor team wishes all our graduates many years of fun and safe climbing!
