Great job, I am glad you finally got your summit! I just came off this route yesterday, so much snow has melted off and there was plenty of rock fall. There were a couple of obscure tracks, but it didn't look like it had been climbed for a while. We went left of the pyramid and climbed a snow bridge onto a 50-60 foot section of ice, placing two screws at the bottom. Great exposure, and then topped out. Sounds like your ascent was quite the adventure!

Tony, thanks for passing the word on the lost ice axe (not a bad price to pay for a great climb). Your photos are great; you guys are the animals for the one day push and ski descent! We watched your progress up Inter Glacier, you guys were hauling.

Looks like you guys made it! I was one of the two climbers you ran into hiking out through Glacier Basin. Looks like you had some nice turns down Inter Glacier. Way to go!

I was descending Rainier (Liberty Ridge-I will post a trip report soon) in the wee hours of Sunday Morning (9 July) and lost my ice axe as I glissaded down Inter Glacier. I looked for it in the dark but no luck. Missing equipment is a Petzel Charlet Moser axe w/a blue daisy chain-leash (which I obviously did not utilize during my glissade). I would be awfully grateful if anyone found it and returned it. Thanks!

Sounds like a Bill Trip... nice work, take me with you next time!
