Led all the pitches of The Hitchhiker (5.11-, 9 pitches, 900') on South Early Winter Spire at Washington Pass on June 25, 2022. Very snowy for the year, so crampons and ice axe were necessary and post-holing was definitely the first crux! Dry rock, baby goats and perfect sticky granite for nine full-value pitches were the reward.

Moderate, modern alpine climbing in the North Cascades with all pitches 5.10 to 5.11. An absolute gem.
