Steph_Abegg Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've put together a page on my website showing comparisons of photos I've taken vs photos my parents took while mountaineering in the same areas in the 1970s and 1980s. It's very interesting to see how the North Cascades have changed (or not changed) over a generation. Check out the comparisons on my webpage at: http://sabegg.googlepages.com/comparisons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow...thats cool. I hope there is somebody out there who finds this useful for scientific study. If not, I may have to go back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindawg Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey Steph! Great pictures. Is your dad Marty Abegg, the famous scholar of the Dead Sea Scrolls? If so, I remember him from "back in the day" when he was in seminary and climbing a whole bunch. Right on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow -- nice work, as usual, Stephanie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_A Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Awesome comparisons! I'm jealous that you have a family that has a history in mountaineering. My family looks at me like I have a third eye in my forehead when I speak some of the trips I've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaredSilly Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Very nice, you should let some know about these in one of the Geology Dept. as I am sure some would be interested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_D Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 love it...especially the one of you with the Matterhorn!! have any Ptarmigan Traverse pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph_Abegg Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 have any Ptarmigan Traverse pics? posted some now! Little bit of glacier recession on Formidable in the following photos, although with the cool and wet summer this year, perhaps our glaciers will start to grow back... My parents and uncle and aunt at camp on the first night of a week-long adventure on the then mostly trail-less Ptarmigan Traverse, July 25-31, 1979 On an overnight day-hike with my mom to climb Mt.

Steph_Abegg Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Looks like lots of glacier recession in the Canadian Rockies too. Better enjoy those glaciers while we can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad DEFINITELY still wears that plaid jacket and uses that old blue ice axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
