The Crest: Wow. We definitely passed the Summerland Camp now. :) The crest gives you an awesome view of the Panhandle Gap, a big snow bowl below the crest, and Rainier and Goat Island. It was a little too late to follow that last bit of boot trail to the 7500 ft peak at the base of the Fryingpan Glacier, so we settled for this. (1) Profile of the Gap and the crest ridge. (2) Me. Not sure what my face is doing.
