Mountainmandoug and I were out on the seracs that day too. Strange that we didn't see you. We found an area tall enough for a full pitch and a little more. So much fun! Wasn't the ice just perfect that day? I meant to post a TR but the batteries in my camera were completely dead, and a TR without photos would have been a bit dull. Glad you posted one.
Climb on!
Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to get on a list. I guess I just crashed Steph's photo show. Well, she didn't seem to mind.
I'd like on the other list, Tyson, the one for people who want to climb and not just spray on the internet.
The Mount Baker Volcano Research Center (MBVRC) is having a tee-shirt design contest. The winner gets 3 free shirts in the spring and possibly a sweatshirt in the fall. All the proceeds from sale of the shirts go into the research fund (so that starving grad students can get extra cash to pay assistants (that could be you) and rent gas masks (and you'd want one) to go play into the fuming parts of the active crater - thank you in advance!)
Here's the link: http://mbvrc.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/new-mbvrc-t-shirt-design-contest/
Cheers!

Hey Ryan and Khartoum,
Did you by chance get a view down to Sherman Crater from where you were? Wondering if:
1)the hole in the glacier is visible yet (close to the southern rim)
) The southern rim has exposed rock (between Pooch peak and Sherman Peak). I'd expect it's too early for this one, but it's been a weird year, so it might.
Thanks!
GG.
Hey, I missed your post. I'll be in the computer room Thu-Fri, if you didn't go and still would like to. I can take Sat. Wouldn't mind seeing my crater.
Curse that damn warm wet weather! Side note: I was just up on Baker. You can't even see PanDome, it's coated with wet heavy snow. Let me know if it gets better. I've got my eye on that one for a mid-week escape.
