Washington state is a great place to live if you are into climbing. Mountaineers fly in from all over the world to enjoy what this area offers. We can drive to some of these awesome destinations in just two hours! We seem to make it up to the Stuart range at least once every year. This time we climbed Prusik Peak. The approach to the peak was as good as the climb. We went right through the heart of the Enchantments. There was still a lot of snow up there feeding the numerous small lakes.
This photo shows the south side of the peak. We would climb the north side of the west ridge.

Little Annapurna, Dragontail Peak and some small lakes. What a view! 
The fun was not over yet. It took 5 rappels to get back down.
We saw mountain goats all over the place on this trip. It was another day making memories in a very special part of creation!
