"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Alpine style ascent of Fair GlacierCamped at Crater Lake and had an overnight hail storm. Woke up the next morning to low-lying clouds and poor snow. Crevasses were very small. Made it up and over, descending Apache's SE slopes for the sake of making good time.

Fair GlacierWe did a full carry over of our gear. Camped at Mirror Lake the previous night and started a 5:40 a.m. returned to the Brainard Lake trail head at 7:00p p.m.
We descended via the Isabel glacier's south branch, down climbing the first 100 vertical feet on plastic ice then glissaded to a point just above the turn off from the route.
This route will give you the "full on mountaineering experience"
