My tent at our base camp for Glacier Peak. This picture epitomizes why all mountaineers go through what they go through to do what they do.

MH Spire

I love it - a bombproof, easy-to-set-up shelter. I'll send you a message with some more details ... :)

Awesome!

It looks like a wonderful area. Glacier is high on my list for this next season.

Re: Awesome!

Glacier Peak was one of my favorite trips. We went to base camp via Red Pass and out via White Pass. A long, tough haul ... but completely worth it to get to a spot that most don't get to see. Definitely a MUST DO! :)

What we go through

As my friend Jill once described it (in two words):
"Misère, splendeur!"

Hope to get up Glacier Peak at some point. I'm moving to WA (Port Townsend) in September.
