The View to the False Summit from our Base Camp!

We set up our base camp in a light drizzle, and gusty winds, but the storm broke about 2:00 am, and it was a beautiful day to climb!

Walking back to the South or False Summit, the actual summit is center left.

We shared the summit with 25 or 30 other climbers, maybe not quite as crowded as Mount Rainier on that Sunday, but still a lot of people enjoyed the climb!

Mount Hood

Looking due South to the spectacular Mt. Hood above a sea of clouds.

Mount Rainier

Looking due North to the hulking mass of Mt. Rainier, also well above the clouds!

It was a wonderful climb, and sunburn aside, one I enjoyed very much. I think I would like to climb the North Ridge Route on this peak next year!
Thanks for stopping by to look!
BTW, click on the images to see them in full size! They are well worth the bandwidth!
