Our second course is "Ice Axe Arrest" Here we learned some mountain climbing steps with the assistance of an Ice Axe, and how to stop ourselves from falling by using our Ice Axe. We had tons of fun even though Nikki lost her camera and some fantastic pictures and videos along with it. Below are pics that Terese Toennies took of the trip:
Feeling Good. Except I need pants that aren't three sizes too big.
Terese and her bargain-bin "claw" gloves. We all thought they must be like that for a reason, but never found one. 
Expressing my rage at being left behind while my husband travels the world without me.
Our group for the day, about half of the whole group doing the Mt. St. Helens summit in April.
