Camping on the Glacier

This was our overnight camp on the way up to the summit of Mount Baker. We were at about 8000 feet elevation on a relatively level area of Coleman Glacier known as the Football Field. We reached this point at about 4:00 in the afternoon, set up camp, cooked and ate our evening meal, watched the sunset and then turned in for the night. Edward (tan trousers) and I had a warm and comfortable night, but Nate and our guide, Troy (green jacket) were very cold and uncomfortable and did not sleep much. After waking at 4:00 am and making a quick breakfast we set off again at 5:00 am.
