Climbing "Rainier's Cleaver" July 1981

Mt. Rainier, Wash.

Me with my old jansport climbing up cleaver. ( Note Crevasse down at Ingram Flats which 2 weeks earlier claimed 11 lives, which all are still there today) Large Seracs broke away and pushed two roped teams into the crevasse you see here. That same day 5 people died on Mt. Hood making the worst day in Amercian Climbing History for life lost.

A very sad tale, Monte. This is a beautiful composition though. Very well seen and captured. V.
