- Attached are some photos from a a trip my winter
survival class went on,
last February. We snowshoed in 2 miles to a hot spring that has
several
old bathtubs for soaking, and nearby we made snow shelters. After
I
made my snow shelter and had dinner, I was sitting in a steaming
bathtub
under a moonless sky with 10 zillion stars, with a mountain stream
20
feet away, I was thinking it just doesn't get any better than
this.

Rampart
Ridge, Snoqualmie Pass area, Washington Cascades. 1987
Below: 2 kids with packs by a trail: Hiking with
daughters Laura and Deah,
near Chinook Pass, Washington Cascades. 1989

Ranier, '75
Below: The gang on my first trip to the North
Cascades, a route called the Ptarmigan Traverse. The route for
the day
went below the black cliffs on the right, and up the glacier
above the
hiker with the yellow helmet. The crevasses were 50 across, and
200
feet deep, very scary to cross. The Pass for the day was right
of the
triangular peak on the right skyline. Packs were 70 lbs at least.
1973. I have done this route a total of 3 times, and would do
it again
in a minute.
Below: Idaho Bob (left) and friends on the Ptarmigan
Traverse, North Cascades. Mt. Formidable is behind, typical of
North
Cascades peaks. Big glaciers, loose crappy rock. We were Sierra
backpackers and Yosemite rockclimbers out of our element, and
learning
about glaciers by falling into them. When the sun was out, the
most
glorious scenery imaginable. Me and my partner Marc (no shirt)
didn't
get along with the other 3, who we didn't know very well. 1973
Below: Tuckie on the mountaineer
shortcut into Sheep Lake in the 7 Devils, Idaho. The shortcut
is 2
hours to Sheep lake, the trail around the mountain is 10 hours.
We had
goats come through our camp at Sheep Lake. July 1994.
