Water 💦

“Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting,” a quote that is attributed to Mark Twain, is possibly apocryphal and is absolutely apropos. Whether your preferred drink is bourbon, IPA or ginger ale, your daily life is supported by a highly orchestrated and at times fragile balancing act between supply and demand for water.

Consider this a photographic ode to public lands in the US, given that they are under a clear and present threat.
🏔️🌲Our stay at the lookout offered all the colors, and all the feels. I will never tire of an inky sky, a warm glow from the campfire, and the softness of a mountain sunset in the Oregon Cascades. What a great way to kick off the summer of 2025.

I can hardly believe you’ve graduated from high school already! I love you to pieces and am so proud of the strong, confident, and independent young woman you have become. Here’s to my adventure partner, my photography partner, and my beautiful daughter. The world really is your oyster. 🌎🎓

CMRU Members come from all sorts of career paths and corners of our community. Each member brings a different perspective and level of experience, and that’s what makes us work so well together.

Interested in joining CMRU? Want to know more? Email membership@cmru.org with your questions.

Member highlight: Meet Dave!

What do you enjoy about being a CMRU member?
“I love going out on training and recreational climbs with our members. Awesome people, and awesome partners. I also enjoy learning about new equipment and new techniques. I enjoy our missions the most. They can be exhausting and difficult, but it’s a great feeling to return a subject to their friends and family. “

What would you like the public to know about CMRU?
“Never, ever hesitate to call for help if you need it. You have a large team of talented people who will be more than happy to drop what they are doing and respond to a mission. There is no cost, and no judgement. We are here to assist…”

What advice would you give to prospective members?
“Spend some time learning the local terrain in the Cascades... going out on a mission to a place you already know brings a huge confidence boost. Also, spend some time walking uphill with a heavy pack on. But, above all, don’t hesitate to reach out about membership. We welcome a diverse set of backgrounds and previous experiences. There are many different ways to contribute and there is no one ‘model’ of what we are looking for.”

High Sierra, September 2023. Simply magical to spend a few days with @dfosterhill and @candacerenger (and spouse) in and around Tuolumne Meadows! A little cragging, and a beautiful day climbing Tenaya Peak, just missing the dramatic weather at camp! Slight mishap on Tenaya left me with a purple finger, though. Fortunately, the tippy-top of a ring finger isn’t really necessary for hiking and technically-easier routes like N Ridge on Conness. #highsierra #easternsierra #tenayaoeak #tiogapass #tuolumnemeadows

North Ridge of Mt. Conness, 25th anniversary edition. What a perfect alpine route, full package. Several hours of approach, long ridge line climb on quality granite, and inobvious descent. We did this decades ago. Wasn’t entirely convinced we could pull it off again at 50+. Got very lucky with weather and moved well in the climbing section. Approach and descent? Definitely slower at 52 (vs 25)! Love my climbing partner more than ever. ❤️ @dfosterhill took a few of the pics, too. #mtconness #northridge #highsierra #connesslakes #motivation

25 years today! Despite the years, I appear to be wearing a sillier grin than ever in the handful of recent pictures of the two of us together. May our next 25 have as much joy, love, laughter, good health, and adventure as the last 25. It feels like a lifetime ago that we were kayaking in Alaska, biking in Vietnam, having babies, or driving to Yosemite in your 1989 Toyota Corolla. ❤️

Here’s to the guy who always makes plans for us, who is currently lead parent of three teenage girls and two dogs, who is our personal chef and barista, who figured out how to ski for work as a professor, and who can fix four home appliances in a month. ❤️
.
And who buys the best gifts. Shout-out to @nixon for the 25th anniv players on our 25th anniv. (Note the early @nixon in the wedding photo).

Happy Father’s Day to the Dad with the best shoes—whether fluevogs, all birds, ski boots, climbing or running shoes! And to the Dad that is always there for his family, day in, day out. We love the adventure you enable, of course, but it’s your steadiness and constant support for all of us that defines you as a father and husband. ❤️❤️

Skiing in July — on Mt. Hood. Yesterday the stars lined up in terms of schedules and conditions, and we had a rare chance to climb Mt. Hood with our oldest daughter. I had a goal to climb Mt. Hood before I turned 50. Check, tagged the summit in 2020. She had a goal of climbing it before high school graduation. Check, Jul 16, 2022! Congrats, @fiona._mae! 🎉🎊Spectacular day on the mountain, to be sure.

✅ CSO team fieldwork part II

Last week we completed another round of snow depth and SWE sampling, and laser scanning of our targeted areas of interest in the #chugachmountains of southcentral Alaska. It was a week of bluebird skies, low avalanche danger, warm temperatures and a late season snowpack that was easier to penetrate. 🐦❄️☀️

First winter foray to a fire lookout. Lucky we went in on Saturday, with decent snow conditions, a bit of sun, and a view of Mt Hood. Sunday was warm, wet, and grey, but an easy walk/ski out. #oregonfirelookout #firelookout #exploreoregon
