Mountaineers Field Trip to Whistler Mountain

In mid-April, my Mountaineers SIG went on a snow overnight field trip to Rainy Pass on the North Cascades highway. We summited Whistler Mountain, learned more about snow travel, built snow anchors and practiced crevasse rescue.

On the second day, I started having problems with my eyes, unfortunately, and two instructors had to walk me down the mountain. A slightly sad end to an otherwise perfect field trip.
