Liberty Cap of Mount Rainier / 瑞尼爾山的自由帽
I had my first close encounter with Liberty Cap from the main summit (Columbia Crest) in 2013.

The pups got in their exercise yesterday. So I went to get some "me" time at Camp Muir.
I first took notice of the two peaks while climbing Burnt Mountain across the Carbon River Valley.
Saturday snow level along the Highway 2 corridor was around 3,000'; today the first patch of snow appeared just above 5,000'.
All the years of staring at Crystal Mountain (aka Silver King) from across the basin, we finally got the chance to pay a visit.
My ice climbing trip on Chair Peak had been canceled at the last minute due to avalanche concerns.
Altitude sickness right around 10K elevation, like the times before on Camp Muir and on Mount Adams at Lunch Counter.

Counterclockwise: Mount Ararat, Iron Mountain, and Copper Mountain summits. Another outing with some Mountaineers folks bagging some peaks around Mount Rainier. The original plan was to bag five peaks, but…
I needed this trip to get acclimated to the high altitude and to prepare for our Mount Rainier summit climb in exactly three weeks!
