Dawn on Mount Rainier Mount Rainier from Nisqually Nisqually Glacier Panorama Skier Fallen into Crevasse Looking into the Depths Crevasse Bridge A Leaning Serac Mt St Helens from Crevasse Help from Above Climbing Out of Crevasse Heading Home

After shedding pack, poles, and skis, I waited for the skiers on the surface to anchor the 'accident rope' (now also serving as the 'rescue rope'). Once they yelled down to me that the rope was solid, I ascended several feet up it using prussik loops, one attached to my climbing harness and the other providing a pair of leg loops to stand in. This view looks downhill along the crevasse (opposite direction from the previous photo), with me about 30 feet below the snow surface. The large block in the center of the photo is a serac, a column of the glacier isolated by crevasses on all sides and now slowly collapsing.
