This past weekend I got my recreation on in Anacortes, where I hung out on a boat with my friend Matt, and in Leavenworth, where I did some extreme hiking with Anne on Dirty Face. Yes, you read that right, Dirty Face Peak is an actual hike in Washington State and I dominated the crap out of it. Over 6,000 feet in 4.5ish miles? No problem.
Here are my fave pics from the weekend:
Anacortes – lovely when it isn’t raining
How we do fire hydrants in ‘Merica!
View from Deception Pass
Damn Anne, that’s one Dirty Face you’ve got
Water Feature al Natural
Snow line at about 6,000 feet
No, not steep at all
We summited, time to boogie
Trust me, those faces are dirty: covered in salt and sweat (and tears)
Speaking of epic summits – I really like this very serious blog about the first ascent of The Nose on Suicide Rock. Read it.
