Did you check your GPS? I'm pretty sure it would have shown you were really on North Mtn...

It was a very strenuous trip, hence the clothing changes. We were really sweating on that steep slope. As for the packs, we were pretty heavily loaded for this one just in case we had an unplanned bivy. The Si glacier is an unforgiving place. I think they just look bigger in the early photos because we had rain covers on them.

To pull this off in a strenous one-day ascent is certainly remarkable. Kudos!

It's not such a tough route. I took Daisy up there, she managed to jump the crevasses quite easily. I, unfortunately, fell into one and was killed instantly.

Nope, not NB's dog. He belongs to an OSAT member named Tino (?), I cant remember the name of the dog though.

My favorites are the Goo and alcohol refreshment drinks and the switch from plastic to regular mountaineering boots. Be that as it may the perfect April Fools report, very well done!

Thanks all! It was fun to write up and piece together. I should say only one of those photos was taken on Si itself. The rest are cobbled together from a crevasse rescue training trip on the Baker Easton glacier (nobody noticed he was prussiking out with two ropes!), a trip up Teneriffe, Talapus lake, and snow camping practice on the Stevens ski slopes.
Of course those are all just stand in photos, next year I plan to find the real Mt. Si glacier!
