Mt. Adams!

Last weekend Casey and I along with some of best friends Tiffany and Kory had aspirations of summiting WA's 2nd highest peak, Mt. Adams. While we didn't summit we still had a great trip and are planning to attempt it again sometime in August. I will post some of our trip pictures below, but please go to Tiffany's blog for an amazing detailed report of our entire trip and also enjoy her great photographs!

Ready to go!

Me on the way up, a few layers had come off at this point and the weather was pretty decent!

Our snowy, cozy little camp
My first experience setting up camp in the snow!

Love the pictures...and we had such a great time with you two. I agree, we wouldn't wanna climb with any one else!!! Looking forward to more climbs in the future. Bring your calendar over tonight and we can talk about our next trip. (And we gotta book our Hawaii tix too. )

See you in a bit at the park!
