Mt. St. Helens Climb

It wasn't the greatest day to climb a mountain, but the permits were purchased 6 weeks prior, and we simply had to take what mother nature gave us... rain all morning, then clouds with intermittent sun breaks and wind. Lots of cold wind! We were all very disappointed that we couldn't see the lava dome in the crater - it was obscured by thick clouds and fog.
