Upon reflection, I think the views from St. Helens were best I've seen so far.tekewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230830520110635922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797598074793378196.post-73393834597249607592015-08-07T03:35:04.346-07:002015-08-07T03:35:04.346-07:00St Helens is quite the experience to enjoy.

We were up there to climb Rainier and lucked into St Helens reopening that very weekend we were there. A side note: Like a couple of idiots we were, we continued to the summit of St Helens after realizing my friend had forgotten his sunglasses back at the car. This ended up in him suffering a very bad case of snow blindness that evening that required my seeking out medical help for him at 2 o'clock in the morning. This ended up preventing us making an attempt on Rainier, but we did Hood a few days later instead.

Good job on Humphreys Peak, that's a big mountain.tekewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230830520110635922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797598074793378196.post-81184766449587806942014-08-23T22:51:36.070-07:002014-08-23T22:51:36.070-07:00Great report...I've been eyeing this mountain ...Great report...I've been eyeing this mountain for years...maybe I'll give it a go some time! Just got back from a 5 day ramble through the Absaroka Mountains in WY and a climb up Humphrey's Peak in AZ...so I am little tired now... Again, what an experience and privilege you had to climb this legendary summit!Joseph Esparzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941912422523575800noreply@blogger.com
