Sunrise on Mt. Hood

Sunrise on Mt. Saint Helens

After an alpine start we were thankful to finally be in the sun

After 4 hours we made it to the "lunch counter".  That face is the size of Mt. Bachelor and is still only a false summit. Those little dots are people and the real summit is behind it almost 1,000 ft. higher.  I spent a lot of time slumped over my poles wheezing on that face.
