Another Cool photo

Check out this photo from our ascent of Mt. Triumph. On the descent, we were looking to the NE, and saw these ominous formations building. We made it down fine, and the weather stayed good until we went to bed. The next morning we woke up inside a cloud, so thick we couldn't see more than 30 ft. and with the wind tearing through the col. We packed up, ate breakfast, and booked out of there fast!

Our Triumph route

>>>>>>Our route on Triumph (NE Ridge, III 5.7) followed the red. I climbed it with Marshall Balick, Tom Unger, and Theodore Barnhart. We camped on the saddle at the mark point. The approach to there was a heinous six and half hour hike. The next morning, we got up and crossed the glacier to the climb. The route itself was great; easy ridge climbing with lots of simul-climbing and a knife-edge ridge that dropped off six or eight hundred feet down to the glaciers on either side. We summited at about 2pm, and were back at our camp on the col at six or seven. What a classic route!

Cape Alava and Mt. Triumph

These are a couple photos from my last two trips; the first a climb of Mt. Triumph in the Cascades, and the second to Cape Alava, on the Washington Coast, for 8 days.
The first here is my friend Theodore, exhaused as we make our way down the climb. The other one is Marshall on the ridge, and the third is Triumph. The climb goes up the right hand skyline.

The bottom picture is me with my cousin Zola.
