Water Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 This sure seems to be a PNW volcano, just trying to figure out which ones are in the photo and where it was taken from. its my co-worker's office, he has no clue. it says 'excellence' below, its one of 'those' pictures. anyone have any speculations? Large flattened top volcano to the right (adams, rainier?) and then to the left on the horizon there is pretty pointed, looking like any number of potential volcanoes. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hood and Adams in the back ground. I'd bet it is an RMI picture by the sweater and taken in the Nisqually Ice fall on the SE side of Rainier. More than likely someone here will know who the climber in the photo is, the photographer's name and when the picture was taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMO Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 This picture was definately taken from the Nisqually Glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 "excellence" is rappelling into an icefall? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berl Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) maybe it's been flipped left-right: hood should be on the right of adams when looking south from rainier. or it's a pre-eruption st. helens on the right!

Water Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 berl, dane, These are all things I have wondered as much... that hood should not be to the right of Adams, when looking south from anywhere on Rainier. pre-eruption st. helen's top was still a bit more pointy and rounded than the mountain in this picture I thought. I spose it was just a matter of the image being mirrored to give the mixed up view.. thanks for feedback folks! yeah I guess that is excellence..maybe just having a good view is excellence? dane you know a guy named herm who was from eastern wa? lives around bishop, ca now?

Dane Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Knew something wasn't right but the flipped image is it I think. I am pretty sure that is Hood. Herm? Sure, didn't know he was in Bishop but makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Probably an old Keith Gunnar photo. Photo likely is flipped, isn't that Goat Rocks on the far right of the poster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 this looks a lot better. for a few weeks when I saw it I really scratched my head about where the heck it could be...i knew it could be flipped but was trying to think of anywhere else it could be.

Bug Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 That was my first guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 So how long has it been since RMI guides wore those nice Demetri Ski sweaters Like 30 years or more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Considering those are SMC 12 point hinged crampons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
