This "memorial climb" was dedicated to a very dear friend of ours. We were given dire warnings about icy conditions and cold/windy weather...
Our first good view of the mountain.
Sunrise from high on the Emmons Glacier.
Chris overcoming one of the challenges. Our base camp is in the lower left corner of the picture.
Other climbers working their way to the top.
Brian by a wall of ice in Liberty Saddle. A recent storm left amazing rime ice deposits all over the upper mountain.
