There's Tin Can Gap up ahead and you can already see the Lookout on the distant peak behind it. The Queest-Albs Glacier, melted out more than usual this year. Jeff with fin-shaped rock behind. The Lookout is in the upper left corner of the pic

Here's a closeup. The only snowfield crossing was here, right below the summit. Then a bit of scrambling. Chris rounds the corner to the ladders.

The Lookout Tower
Norm and Jeff make their way up the dreaded ladders! A little rickety, but they held up well. Norm traversing across the last ladder. Chris hauls up more shingles up the ladder

Once up the ladder, walk up the rock to the Lookout. There's a safety line to use. The mist is moving in on the North Peak. Not much room outside of the Lookout to move around. To the east is a 2000 ft drop!

Jack's Back! Sunset on the front door of the Lookout. Inside the Lookout. Now that's what I call a nice mountain view!

Ole Stars and Stripes, with the Puget Sound in the background. Norm scrambling to another rock to get a better view. Neighboring mountains, North Cascades in the background. Jeff outside admiring the view.

That's Mt. Baker in the background. The peak cast a long morning shadow into the Sound. The Crew heading back to civilization. See ya next time!
