High camp, just below Camp Hazard (July 3, 2017)

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.

Good view of the route... Wilson Glacier and The Turtle, along with upper mountain

Wouldn't be Rainier without a snow bridge

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

Late-season (September 1st) ascent of the Kautz, taken from the top of P1. Climbers in the bottom right. Adams, Hood, and Saint Helens visibile.

Final push to summit

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
