Early morning up on Mt. Rainier. Beautiful view of Mt. adams with marine layer in the valleys. Typical morning scenery!

Thats's me in the photo. It's about 4:30am on Mt. Rainier. I just love being up there to see the sun come up in the morning.

Friend Ben Mitchell and I on the summit of Rainier. What a great morning. A client took the photo.

What a day! Hard to believe we are over 11,000 ft. The temperature had to be about 75 degrees. This is a picture of me after descending the disappointment cleaver on Mt. Rainier. In the background is the ingraham glacier. The photo was taken by one of my clients.

I took this on the way up Dissapointment Cleaver, about an hour before a storm came in and turned us around.
