March 29, 2009 (sorry for the delay, been backlogged on the TRs):
GeoTom, Jasper, Dicey, Schmidt Altitude and the whippets joined me for a double summit in the Blewett Pass area:
Very nice change of pace in the weather, going from Winter Storm Warning/Avalanche Danger the day before to 45° and pure blue skies. Interesting terrain on the ridge run up to Serpentine, then mixed with some road walking over to the final ridge of Iron Mountain. Wished for the snowmobile ride on the way back out. Instead we bypassed Serpentine and dropped lower on the hillside to make it more interesting on the return.
 DSD_0059 - Alti-Babe's Iron Mtn summit shot with Miller Peak in distance  DSD_0090 - Alti-Babe pulling away from Jasper  DSD_0094 - Jasper cruising  DSD_0097 - Action Jasper  DSD_0096 - Jasper the Stout digging hard for the finish line  DSD_0113 - rare sighting of miniature mountain whippets  DSD_0117 - "See Kief, I told you we could trick Jasper into going the wrong way!"  DSD_0120 - "I'm telling you for the last time, stay out of my way when I'm glissading!" :-)  DSD_0121 - GeoTom and Jasper racing down the slope  DSD_0124 - "Hey Dad, wait for me!!"  DSD_0134 - Alti-Babe at maximum velocity  DSD_0140 - Alti-Babe braking after a long glissade  DSD_0143 - Road walk is more bearable immediately after excellent glissading!  Serpentine Hill blocks our return path.  DSD_0147 - snag tree lives on even after death  DSD_0155 - Balancing Dude decides to fly back to the truck

I think Geo-Jasper may be all muscle and smile despite his other nickname!  ~Athena

I'm guessing Iron Mountain (Blewett) != Iron Peak (Teanaway)?

Iron Mountain is farther east. Two similar names in the Teanaway area. Iron Mountain is between Miller and Three Brothers.

Yes, about 8-10 miles beyond Blewett/Swauk pass towards Wenatchee. Here's the GPS track. A few miles east of Miller Peak. serpentine-iron gps

Lots of great pictures, Yukon! 
It was nice to have such beautiful weather for what had looked to be a dismal forecast. The glissading was also surprisingly good.

 Snow conditions look nice. I've often thought of going in and doing Three Brothers from Blewett for the wintry views.

I've been working out lately. I'm glad you noticed. 
It was fun to help dad and the others with their glissading. Hopefully there will be more of that this year.
