Done with the mountaineering training (crevasse rescue, pulley systems - thanks to Tony's engineering skills, self arrest)... Gear check... Let's go...
Looking across Cowlitz Glacier and Cathedral Gap.

Crossing Cowlitz Glacier. We moved quickly and quietly to reduce the risk of rock fall.
Cathedral gap was sketchy with all the loose rocks
Looking back at Camp Muir and Mount Hood from the top of Cathedral gap

The boys with Little Tahoma in the background. Can you tell the helmet Tony borrowed was a little too small?


Almost to Ingraham Flats. We just saw a small avalanche cover the trail way off in the distance.
Big crevasse
Little Tahoma
Making camp
Melting and filtering more water, waiting for dinner...
The sun is going down
See you at 3AM!
