.

and this I took not quite an hour earlier..

the below link is the original sized panorama.. check out from the summit down the leftside (Ingraham Glacier) and down the center of the pic (Emmons gl route).. I count 79 climbers attempting to summit Sunday morning... they had a beautiful night and day for it.. the moon was so bright that night it never really got dark (most prolly started b/t 1 & 2AM)

in a different pic I can see three people standing on the summit

anyway.. and yes I could summit Rainier faster than a 'speeding' e-file'..

and there is another new Pacer...
