Perfect weather and great company. Crevasses opening between 8000 and 9000 but you can veer to climbers left at 7200 ft to avoid unpassable crevasses but there are others opening all over.

Black Buttes to the summit in 3.5 hours or so. Pretty eerie to climb by starlight over the Coleman Glacier. Snow was awesome, and we made it from the summit to the cars in 4 hours.

Enjoyable climb. We started on friday and camped at Black Buttes. Saturday was much warmer (lots of punching through to my knees), and there were many more people. We had the upper mountain to ourselves, from the pumice ridge below the Roman Wall to the summit and back.

Easton
With the WAC basic class, one year late (took the class in 2007 and we were completely shut out by weather). Conditions were perfect and our climb was uneventful, but a bit spooky because of the fatal accident on the other side of the mountain the day before we went up.

Beautiful mountain... not so beautiful weather. Climbed to the glacier despite whiteout conditions, and couldn't make it further. Tried again the following day but same conditions. Sad footnote to the weekend on the mountain was the missing skier, Kevin LaFleur. God bless him, I know he's in a better place, and after meeting his brother and friends realize he must have been one hell of a guy. The trip was definitely a stark reminder of how dangerous mountains can be.
Bivvy on Heliotrope Ridge the night before we climbed. Hoards of people on the mountain the following day, including many turkeys romping around on the glaicer in tennis shoes; oblivious to the crevasse danger. Luckily, the upper part of the mountain was uncrowded and the climbing very enjoyable. A fine summit.
Went with the Washington Alpine Club. First Cascade glacier climb for me, and the start of a fun lifetime.

Beautiful Windy
We had a beautiful time up the Coleman Glacier. The walk across the summit was incredible but very cold and windy. We descended quickly to be in the lee side, even though it was in the shade. A couple of crevasse crossing were very narrow, but stable.
Climbed this with my GF. Camped at high camp below the glacier. Had a great time. Summit views towards Shuksan were amazing and looking down into the crater was neat.
Climbed the C/D route solo overnight, 9/9/07-9/10/07, car to car in one push. Crevasses were hairy, and the route was straight up ice in places. Getting up was definitely easier than getting down in places.
Lower Easton was socked in during the early hours, but we punched through around first light at 9,000' for clear skies and cold windy conditions. A great day in the hills!
