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

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

Crossing a endless bottom Crevasse in the snowfield near the top

Nearing Point Success, high on the Kautz Glacier.

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.

Camp before summit night.

Wouldn't be Rainier without a snow bridge

This was our camp, below camp hazard.

1 pitch of actual ice climbing on the route during our climb. July '17, about 1am.

Final push to summit

Mark and Tyler climbing Kautz June 2018

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
