This is my tent. A spectacular location. Note I positioned the door away from the abyss on the right.<br />
We awoke at 1:15 a.m. to get ready for a 2 a.m. departure to the summit. Three hours of climbing offered<br />
spectacular views. That’s my tent in the circle.<br />
Boiling water–everyone needed to get two liters in<br />
them and have two liters for the summit climb. This<br />
was a 2.5 hour job.<br />
This is what we were climbing in the dark. We eventually<br />
had to stop at 12,000 feet, as a team member<br />
was suffering from altitude sickness.<br />
We made our way down feeling tired and exhilarated<br />
by this amazing experience. The tall mountain<br />
off in the distance is Mount Adams (12,276').<br />
I climbed it in 2004.<br />
