Rainier PhotosFrom May 24-27, Aaron, Jamie and I battled the elements for 4 bruising days on Washington's Mount Rainier(14,410') summiting via the Disappointment Cleaver Route.

 Myself in front of a cloud capped Rainier on the morning of Day 2 quite pleased that the previous day's storm has moved along! |

Hood PhotosOn May 29th and 30th, Jamie and I spent two sun-soaked, beautiful Oregon days scouting the Leuthold Couloir before summiting Mount Hood(11,239') via an unnamed chute, a 55 degree hard snow/ice climb.
