STAFF HIKE 2009

Every year The Mountaineer staff goes for a fall outing. Its usually either hiking or rock climbing. This year we chose to hike up the Ridge Trail on Giant Mountain. The fall foliage was just starting to pop and views were amazing up to around 3500 ft when we entered the clouds.

BANDANAS ON RAINIER

Hi Vinny,
It's Tracy Hoffman. We were just in talking to you about my Rainier climb. I wanted to send you these pics from my Rainier climb with my friend Amy Dalessandro.
We wore our bandanas all the way to the summit but it was way too windy and cold to take off our helmets. Here we were at ten thousand feet.
Thanks and be well,
Tracy

BANDANA ON MT. WASHINGTON

Hi it's Zach again. We hiked Mount Washington with the "Seek the Peak" event on July 25th. It is a hike to raise money for the weather observatory on the summit of the mountain. You will never believe what my dad and I had in Tuckerman's ravine on the way down. A SNOW BALL FIGHT! There was still snow at the bottom of the ravine by the water fall. We hiked up the Lions Head Trail and came down the Tuckerman's ravine trail.

MOUNTAINEER TRAVEL MUG IN PERU

Chuck Boyd sent us this picture of his Mountaineer travel mug on a recent trip to Peru. He is now in need of a new mug because he gifted this one away to a local!
