GRADUATION CLIMB (This year's climb school graduates have priority).

Pioneer Gulch route to the summit of Diamond Peak. This climb is mostly on snow. Arduous but not technically difficult with commanding views of the Cascades. The amount of snow isn't certain, so we can make game day decisions about the need for snow shoes.

Trip Report

Starting at the Pioneer Gulch TH, we hit snow near the trail junction and started cross country up the gulch. Good glissading on the way down. The wind was gusty in a few places, but overall great climbing weather.
Great group of climb school graduates with wonderful contributions whether it was smiles, stories, or cookies. Made pretty good time starting about 6:30am and back at the cars by 2ish.
Happy 71st to Tom!
