This spring:

Koma kulshan

In early May my dad and I did a three day course with the American Alpine Institute that included the summit of Koma Kulshan. After a year of admiring this mountain from across the strait, it was incredible to finally meet her.

On the way back to Seattle, after climbing Loowit, we detoured to catch a view of Tahoma from Paradise. We ended up spending a few hours hiking around in the snow admiring this mighty volcano.

On the very last day of March, right before permit season began, my dad and I headed to Mt. St. Helens. The climb was our introduction to Washington’s many volcanos and I shot my first roll of film in the mountains.
