written by Lou Dawson June 1, 2010


Louie and I are napping but got woken up by some arrivals near our tent. I leaned out and noticed Mount Hunter peaking out of the clouds. Noble.

Mount Hunter from Kahiltna Glacier camp.

DITTO, Happy B-day to Louie, we are all with you in spirit.
Good luck to you and all your team members!!

Happy Birthday to Louie! Good luck with the rest of the climb. I’ll be checking the blog.

Mark W June 1, 2010 - 3:05 pm

What a great peak in a sea of them.

Matt Kinney June 1, 2010 - 3:41 pm

Napping on a sunny day..or is it actually 4am… :sleeping:

BTW ,,,,the Anchorage Museum of Art has an exhibit of 40 AK photo’s from the B. Washburn collection on display beginning yesterday. (his first photos of Alaska were from his studio in Valdez in 1936) Might be worth checking out once you are done with your mission.

Be safe and ski hard..Good luck

Good Luck Lou and Louie. Looks great up there, hope you get good weather. Hope to try my set up you helped me with on the Pass this weekend, but I would rather be trying it up there. Be safe.

WOW! That looks so beautiful and also a little intimidating! Sends shivers up my spine all the way in Colorado.
Hoping Your Team has a Safe and great adventure!
