Snow II (Nisqually Glacier)

Rainier shrouded in the morning


off to the glacier


rope teams on the glacier


rope teams on the glacier


Mt Adams


the last of the blue sky


rain coming


the rain gathers








more crevasse rescue training


the practice glacier walk


Pat teaching "horizontal" ice technique


The Crevasse


a long way down and a long climb up and out


prussiking up the icey wall


still a ways to go to get out


almost out


the troublesome lip


ice climbing


practice on the ice face


practice on the ice face


the fog gathers


the fog gathers


off the glacier; redistributing gear
