| I did a lot of mountain climbing in the Cascades of Washington state in 1988. Here I am on my way to a summit. |
 |
| I summitted Mt. Rainier (14, 410 ft.) in June 1988 with a team. Here we are on the first day. Note in the background the rest of the team traveling roped together in groups of three. |

| Our camp at 11,000 feet |
 |
| Approaching the summit on the second day. |
 |
| Rainier is a volcano. Here I am at the rim. To reach the summit I still need to cross the crater and climb up a bit. I am totally exhausted by this time. |
 |
| Finally at the summit. |
