After a delicious freeze-dried meal and rehydrating ourselves, we bedded down at Camp Muir around 9:00 pm. We woke up the next morning and hiked a short distance to the Ingraham Flats, on the east flank of the mountain. Though only a few hundred feet higher than Camp Muir, a cold wind rushed over glaciers and through our camp, so it was significantly colder. The clouds made furtive appearances, at times obscuring the view of Little Tahoma Peak, directly in front of us.
This blog chronicles many of my travels over the last several years, including my adventures in Europe and Australia. It also details two of my attempts at Mt. Rainier, the second of which was successful, and the successful ascent of Mt Hood. To read my other blog, with fewer photos but more writing and rambling, click "Tim Thinks" below. Thanks for reading!

High Camp
