Last night was the first day of class for my glacier traveling class. Being the first day, it was mostly introductions with a quick lesson on the most important knot you have to learn how to tie. Being a rock climber, the figure-8 knot is a knot that I can tie in my sleep. The instructor went over the schedule and told us there will definitely be a Mount Rainier climb scheduled after the Mount Baker climb for those of us that are interested.

My buddy Daniel and I took this mountaineering course specifically for learning how to climb Rainier so I can’t tell you how excited we are that the class will lead us up there.

Yes, I know I’m behind in writing up about a couple trips. I do plan to do something about them…but I’m hungry right now.
