The Black Buttes and Deming Glacier Alex Inverted Camp at 5900 ft Skiing Past Seracs Sherman Peak Sherman Crater Panorama Climbing Towards the Summit Crevasses on the Easton Skiing Down the Glacier Deming Glacier Panorama Heading Home

The snow during the morning was quite firm, and I found ski crampons to be quite useful to supplement the skins for traction. Alex didn't have ski crampons, so he switched to hiking up with regular crampons as the terrain steepened a bit, while I continued to ski. Crevasse problems were minimal, and by mid morning we reached the edge of Sherman Crater (9700 ft), with Sherman Peak (10160 ft) visible just beyond. (This photo was taken during our descent that afternoon.)
