Mountaineering in the Cascades

So I have just finished up a training trip with NOLS mountaineering in the North Cascades of Washington State. We went out on a 9 day trip on the Elderado and Inspriation glaciers. We had some amazing weather but as usual were tent bound for 3 days. Here are some photos of what we got up to...

So there you go, just a wee snippet of the 500 odd photos that were taken...Going back into the field in a week for about 30 days so until then...

And of course we celebrate our return in style!
