Mt. Stuart 6/1/14


Mt. Stuart is the 7th highest peak in Washington.  It is also the largest mass of exposed granite in the lower 48.  There are numerous incredible hikes and climbs all over the Stuart Range.  This time the guys would be going for the highest one.
Mt. Stuart as seen from Longs Pass.  They would be climbing Cascadian Couloir the next day.  It starts out on the right side of the picture, angling up to the left.
Taking a break at Longs Pass.  Some huge cornices formed there last winter.
The destruction caused by the cornices breaking off in the spring!
Ron and Mark going by a part of the cornice that flattened the trees.
Enjoying a campfire down at Ingalls Creek.
Just above Cascadian Couloir.
The summit as seen from the false summit.
Climbing some steep snow near the summit.
Andrew, Mark, Dennis, David and Ron on top of 9,415' Mt. Stuart.
 Do you ever get the feeling that you are being watched?
 Crossing Ingalls Creek and heading back up to Longs Pass.
Looking back at what they climbed.  It's a good feeling.

A great mountain, sunshine, good snow conditions and good friends!
