Olympic National Park, Washington, 1981

I'm planning a climbing trip to Olympic National Park this summer (2006). So in order to motivate myself to start preparations, here are a few shots from the last time I summitted the peak. I have worked hard on the captions to make this into a bit of a climber's guide.

Looking east we see Mt Olympus' headwall and the enormous snow pack in the cirque. That is East Peak and Middle Peak across the cirque. And if you look real hard you can see Mt. Rainier directly over Middle Peak. That's about 120 miles away.
