Mt. Baker

 

We struggled under the heavy loads and finally set up Camp 1 below the glacier at 5,000’.

Very glad to be here.

Next day we practiced climbing as a roped team...

Climbing with crampons...

Ice axe use and self-arrest techniques.

Falling into a crevasse like this is a real danger.

So we practice crevasse rescue technique as well.

Hanging in a crevasse looking up, waiting to be “rescued” by my teammates.
