Under dressed: Part 2.
Before we owned trekking poles, and before I owned gloves that weren’t cotton.

Our first climb with crampons.

We like to look back at these photos and laugh at ourselves for donning all-cotton outfits in these conditions.

At the false summit with Mt. St. Helens in the background.

On top of the true summit. We met our now-friend Brian partway up the mountain, and he took me up the last 700 ft.

Finding a good glissade path down.
