Stumbled across this view of sunrise from the Emmons glacier on Mount Rainier. Little Tahoma in the background. Lovely. Many thanks to Jake at MountainWorld Productions for use of the image.
Here we come. Soon enough.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting my shot on your blog. I love to see my images working for great causes! And, the best of luck to you on your climb of Rainier. I worked there as a guide for 6 years, and it is still one of my favorite mountains anywhere, period. And, please give my best to Fergus. He sounds like he is fighting hard, and will continue to fight and reach his summit.
Mt. Rainier is a grueling climb fraught with hidden pitfalls and sudden changes of weather. Half of climbers never make it to the summit.
But hey, after 2-1/2 years of chemotherapy, my 8-year-old son Fergus knows all about climbs like this.
And while great strides have been made since the 1950's (when less than 10% of children survived cancer), more than 12,500 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Too many of these, still, will never see the top of the mountain.
We're just a few friends pursuing a middle-aged dream. But please support our climb by supporting the National Childhood Cancer Foundation (CureSearch) in whatever small way you can.
