Hannah Carrigan, Dan Helmsteder, and I climbed and skied Mt. Rainier via the Fuhrer Finger on February 2nd, 2009. High winds at the summit dome almost turned us around, but we eventually made the top and didn’t get blown off into eastern Washington.

Amar Andalkar was watching us from the Muir Snowfield and got some cool mega-zoom photos. There are two dots middle left (Dan and I) and Hannah is below and left of us.

Seen from afar.

Windy up high.

Descending the Finger.

Almost done with our 10,500' descent. The Finger is the couloir directly above Hannah's head.
