Sounds like the name of a hit documentary, but it’s not. This was real life – my real life last weekend. Me, and 8 other adventure-seeking souls, pushed towards the top over a 2 night trip.
I plan on writing up a complete entry later, but for now, enjoy the pictures and quick captions.
Back home safe and sound.
Trekking up the inner glacier.
The best bowl of pasta. Ever. With Little Tahoma sitting next to us.
Amazing views heading up to base camp.
Towards the top of the inner glacier.
The rock formation behind camp Schurman.
Rainer sparkles in the sun.
Looking down a crevasse. No joke. The most beautiful and dangerous things you’ll find in nature.
Digging out a snow cove for our tent. Wind gusts hit hard at near 10k feet.
Thirsty? The only way to get water is to melt snow. And it takes a while at altitude.
Good ‘ol camp Schurman. The guy who calls this home for 8 days in a row has a good life.
Blue exposed glacial ice.
Little Tahoma looks little from up here.
A chunk of ice just sitting there.
On the edge of the world.
Another Little Tahoma shot. Cloud cover took shape in the background.
Looking out towards Seattle…
The top is in sight.
Where we called home for 24 hours. In a tent.
Another “towards Seattle” shot.
Dancing clouds over the Cascade range.
Nothing like the beer of its namesake.
