You guys get around!

I understand Mt. Olympus has huge glaciers for a peak just under 8,000' due to the coastal storms. Great view and you had awesome weather!
Next stop Mt. Waddington? hehe

Too cool ..

Mt. Olympus receives more than 220 inches of
rainfall annually.

Its "West" summit remained virgin until 1907.

I wonder if a rolling stone in the Olympics
could possibly grow moss on it. Hmmm ..
