I spent several minutes standing on the snow above the true summit (14420+ ft), hoping someone else from my group or another would come over to take a summit photograph of me. Eventually I grew tired of waiting, so I went ahead and took this self-portrait of my shadow, as I looked west across the smaller, western summit crater of Rainier.
