Glacier Peak

Earlier this month, HST member Joshua Brandon completed a two day solo climb of Glacier Peak in the North Cascades. The climb, easily enjoyed in three days (more of a death march in two), is an amazing, remote location with some of the best views of the Cascade range from its summit. Leaving the Army on September 1st, Joshua did it to mark his transition from soldier to climber. The day after, member Derek Quintanilla and his party did a two day climb of the peak HST rocking out on Labor Day weekend.. Enjoy the views:
