On to Camp Schurman

After dropping from Camp Curtis to the Emmons glacier (circumventing and stepping over crevasses for the first time), we followed the Montanans up to Camp Schurman. Along the way, it started to snow....





After some unpleasant standing around in the wet snowfall, we pitched our tents and settled in. This would be home for the next few days.

Bob and Rob's camp:



John's camp:



We tried to be perky and glad. But the truth is, it was a hard, hard day.

Brief Rest at Camp Curtis

After the endless climb up the Interglacier, it was great to look over the far side of the ridge to look down on the flowing, crevassed Emmons glacier.







Looking back down the ridge: John, Bob, the Camp Curtis tent sites, Mount Ruth, and the lower Emmons. We had ascended the Interglacier from the left.
