Mt. Townsend, Olympics 5.24.08

My first scramble.


It was gorgeous at the top--great views in all directions. We even got buzzed by a glider.


It was a snow scramble, which means that we were able to bypass miles of switchbacks by taking off over the snow to get to the summit.


The summit was a long grassy ridge.


It looks all brown in the photos, but there will bunches of little purple flowers an the ground and a few little yellow ones that looked sort of like buttercups.
