The scramble up the rocks

A view of Mt Hood above the clouds
These are the rocks we had to climb for about 70% of the hike
Sean Dixon standing on Monitor Ridge	My wife called, I couldn't believe my phone worked up there
I'm still on the phone, Sean is getting bored
A good view of the ridge we were climbing and the glacier	Mt. Hood, South of us
I'm checking out the glacier and that's Mt. Adams in the background
Mt. Adams dead east of us
I'm walking out to some tracks in the snow
I walked up on the snow for a while
It was pretty smooth sailing, but I didn't have the proper equipment and if I slipped I didn't know if I'd be able to stop myself

We are almost clear of the big rocks and to the ash
Sunyi made me dress like that, normally I dress a lot cooler.
