Making the Kautz look easy, Pat. When we pulled into Camp Hazard we looked like a bunch of beaten dogs. Way to go. Jul 15, 2015

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.

Wouldn't be Rainier without a snow bridge

Looking down the Turtle with Kautz Ridge below and Mt. Adams on the horizon. June '05.

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

Camp before summit night.

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