an altitude of 10,000 feet on the gla- 
cier the summit cannot be seen and the 
view upward is crowned by a ragged 
skyline of ice which never seems to 
come nearer. 
Your progress can only be gauged 
by leveling across to the rock spire of 
the Little Tahoma, 11,125 feet in 
height. Huge crevasses bar the way 
from time to time, and long, exhaust- 
ing detours must be made around and 
between them. The slope is often that 
of a cathedral roof. Do you sense a 
peculiar, rather pleasant thrill at the 
thought of balancing yourself gingerly 
on such a slope; roped fore and aft; 
ragged, yawning chasms above and be- 
low? If you do not, then you had best 
remain on terra firma. 
Step-kicking is usually required 
above 11,000 feet and progress hence- 
forward is extremely slow and fatigu- 
ing. At about 12,000 feet, the sum- 
mit can again be seen, and the satis- 
faction of being able to see your ob- 
jective and note your progress more 
than makes up for the ever increasing 
difficulties of the ascent. Great care 
must be taken to avoid regions of 
broken-looking ice, and the longest 
way around will nearly always prove 
to be the shortest, in point of time. 
Just below the Saddle the snow may 
be compacted into ice, and the axe 
must be invoked to cut out footholds. 
The swish, swish of the fragments, 
and the ring of the axe on the frozen 
surface make a memorable music. 
“Stand firm in the steps and take up 
the slack in the rope” is the slogan 
here! Still another houz of this, and 
at last you stand on level snow again 
in the Saddle between Liberty Cap 
and Crater Peak. The rope is here 
discarded and you mount slowly up- 
wards to the left towards the line of 
rocks which mark the rim of the an- 
cient crater. The air is very thin and 
stops come frequently. In 19138, we 
spent about two hours in making this 
1,000 feet from the Saddle to the Cra- 
ter. Ten hours were spent from the 
Wedge to the Saddle, making twelve 
hours in all for the main ascent from 
a height of about 9,500 feet.
