Loren Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) After climbing Rainier last July, a friend sent me pictures his grandfather took on a climb there in 1928. Interesting to see the difference in Tahoma in just 80 years. Edited March 18, 2008 by Loren Quote
counterfeitfake Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 So, what is the difference? The mountain got color in the fifties? Quote
Loren Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 That's the main difference, of course - Technicolor. It also seems to have lost some weight over the years Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 That's the main difference, of course - Technicolor. It also seems to have lost some weight over the years There was a huge rock avalanche off of Little T a few years back. I'm not sure how much that affected the visible profile. Quote
Bug Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 The angle is different. Apparently we are now 20 degrees to the right. Quote
