Lucky girl!

How awesome it is to be able to touch those peaks in December, normally locked up tight! Got any North Buttress of Fury shots on that trip?

Re: Lucky girl!

It was an amazing experience. We did circle around the north side of Luna Cirque, but it was all in a shadow in the afternoon light. I did get a couple shots of Fury's north buttress (below) - looks pretty forbidding this time of year!

Really amazing. John is such a nice guy...he took my mom up in his plane for a flight around Mt. Baker and Shuksan. Tell him hello for me!
