Our first camp at 7500 ft
Our route: Rainier's Liberty Ridge
Thumb Rock camp at 10500 ft
I'm belaying Andy on steep terrain early on summit day (Carbon Glacier can be seen below him)
Looking up at the boys ahead of me, just after the steep ice pitches at 13000 ft
The summit ridge was the flattest part of our route!
Me, Joe and Andy....ready to go!
Negotiating crevasses and icefalls on the Carbon Glacier
Off the glacier and on the route
We woke at 3:30am on summit day
Looking down at Andy and Joe (our ridge fades down and to the right)
Finding our way up onto Liberty Cap Glacier
