From the end of May to middle of June, I flew out for an 18 day adventure with my buddy Leon. Leon is a very accomplished mountaineer, and currently works as a guide on Rainier. I am a rock climber by trade, so to have such a brilliant teacher and partner that was patient enough to literally show me the ropes in this crazy alpine enviroment was great. We had some really full days and even though the weather didn't cooperate and we weren't able to climb any of the routes we intended, it was a hell of a trip.
