Mount Rainier, Kautz Glacier. Pat coming up to Camp Hazard. June, 2005.

Morning view from the ramp towards Mt. Adams. June 2005.

Nearing Point Success, high on the Kautz Glacier.

Crossing a endless bottom Crevasse in the snowfield near the top

Climbing the ramp. I was struggling with the pickets and a rope so the camera is tilted. In reality the slope is more gradual. The photo makes it look like the Eiger.

This was our camp, below camp hazard.

Short cut to the summit through a icefall. We cut through this icefall and did not have to climb to the top of Point Success. It made the climb a bit more adventurous at the top
