We shortened a planned three day trip into two to beat a disturbance moving in faster than expected. Getting onto the DC was the only minor difficulty, and fixed lines minimized the risk. The crevasses hadn't opened up yet.

Slog in early season
breaking trail in deep snow years is exhausting. supposedly this is the king of america's 48, but I'd go with the northern rockies...

Perfect day for a day hike
RK, RP and I hiked up the Gib Ledges with a nice view of the Nisqually rockfall and down the DC route. Car-2-car in about 15.5 hours. Great day on the mountain with great company!

Emmons Route
Route was in great shape and the weather was fantastic. Got enjoy the summit with my wife even, which was awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better day to summit.

Finally!
Emmons Glacier approach. Second time in two weeks, no summit the first time due to weather. Came back to finish the job. Flawless climb all around. Great people, good conditions, nap in the summit crater. Long summit day, but great route. Camped at Glacier Basin, then up to Schurman, camped and up at midnight to head up. One more night at Schurman and then out the next day to cars..thanks to CPK for making my goal a reality after all these years..

Cascade Highpoints
Drove out from CO to climb Hood and Rainier. Warmed up with Mt. Hood on June 10th and climbed a variation of the old chute. The clouds came down below the summit ridge and cleared as we summited. It was nice to have the place all to ourselves. The next day we drove to Mt. Rainier and started up the Emmons glacier. We planned on staying at Emmons Flats but ended up staying at Schurman due to a blizzard/whiteout. After all parties but one peaced out due to weather we stayed another day and summited on June 14th on a beautiful but windy day. What a trip!

Disappointment Cleavor
06/02/02 First ascent with Kevin, Doug, and my son Brewster. Incredible experience being with family and close friends at altitude.
07/28/06 Second ascent was supposed to be with Kimberly. I got sick the day we were to head to Camp Muir but two days later I was brand new so I ended up going up after she did we both made it even though we were a couple of days apart. I summited on same route.
First time on Mt. Rainier. Looking forward to many more climbs.

Rainier
Made it to the summit on a windy, bitterly cold day. Snowed hard at Muir, and on top, clear and windy in between. Tough summit, but made it all the more satisfying.

Nasty day 1, beautiful day 2
Climbed up through the fog on day 1 and woke up to a beautiful day 2 on the Emmon's Glacier.

Not exactly sure of the date is 1976.. late July or early Aug... Dan Boyd was the lead guide for Man & His Land Western Expeditions II .... Hardest thing I've ever done ... Did it again two years later and that was the greatest thing I ever did !!
