Nice work Roman. Looks like at least ~7,800ft gain by your track on the topo map. Thats a big day!! I bet you enjoyed work on Monday ;)
Sweet TR. Thats a pretty wild photo of the crevasse rescue.Thanks for the beta your group shared with us Saturday afternoon. Saved us from the crevasse maze you guys got bogged down in.
Nice work. The silhouetted climber at sunrise shot came out real well.
Absolutely. Our researched before hand looked like going climbers left (Ridge route) was the way to go vs traversing the Upper Nisqually. I dont think anybody in our group was in the mood...
@jdustinb - Nice job on your summit! How was the snow on the South side? Have to say, I'm a little jealous ;) Nice 360 Panorama. How long did it take you guys Car to Car? ...
@lrudholm - Yes, the light up there is pretty amazing. Even in the middle of the night, the moonlight reflecting off the snow created enough light to climb without headlamps. Pretty cool.@...

Envious!! Looks like a great tour!
@Rusty - I think a great time was had by all. It was about a month since my last tour, so I didnt care much for the skiing, I just wanted to get out. My buddy was blown away by the total e...

Nice tour! The short video clip of the chute looked pretty steep. About how long was it car to car?
