Last day of High School I drove up to Saint Helens in my 1961 Dodge Lancer,. Next day climbed with a friend I took along to top of " Dog's Head" which was about 8'000 ft up moutain where we turned back. Good thing as our 50 foot nylon clothes line wouldn't have been much good in a real fall!!! Live and Learn ( you hope!!) Here I am with new MSR Thunderbird ice axe which I learned how to use by reading freedom of the hills...... ( MSR Thunderbird Ice Axe)
