Nasty Slide on Baker

Hey all,

I guess this is the second mass-movement post to the blog in a row. Alas, do Rachel and I think about anything other than landslides? Yes, we do. But this is cool. On Sept. 3rd I hiked up to lake Ann with Kwees and my Dad and got to look across to Mt. Baker. There was this tremendous landslide/avalanche/debris flow (probably some elements of all three) that had originated on Sherman Peak and covered almost the entire Boulder Glacier. Gladly I did not hear of any mountaineers on that glacier during the event.

Here are photos:
