====== Day 3 ====== * Day 3 was crevasse Rescue day. If you don't know why one would want to rescue a crevasse you may be in over you head here. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl1_019.jpg?800|}} * So there were lots of things to learn, like using rope to travel on a glacier, falling into crevasses and getting other people out: The left picture shows me building a pulley system to get Cary out of the right picture. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl1_023.jpg?400|}} {{:tw:amtl1_andy_070.jpg?500|}} * Alistair shot a really cool picture of Andy "falling" in, you can see it on his website [[http://alasdairturner.blogspot.com/2010/05/mt-baker-climb-aai-alpinism-1-course.html]] * As you can see in the pictures we had very good weather, again, and great views: {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl1_028.jpg?800|}} ====== Day 4 ====== * For various reason we had pushed our summit attempt to day 5, so number 4 was another chance to be lazy. We spent the time to move up to a higher camp site and to learn and practise building snow walls. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl1_039.jpg?800|}}\\ This is how the end product of our snow digging exercise looked like. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl1_044.jpg?800|}}\\ Camping Food Special part 2 - Take 150-250g Pasta depending on your weight and eating habits. - Throw them into a pot and add enough water to cover them. - Heat until the water boils, has boiled for a couple of minutes and the pasta tastes al dente - Add Pesto (= ground basil and olive oil) - You have to decide yourself if you want to throw away some water, its a waste of enery if you do but water-pest omix tastes a bit strange
