Al claims the first failed ascent by a Pembroke Welsh corgi on Washington state's Glacier Peak without supplemental oxygen, 8/5/2012:

(the above link has the story and many more photos).

Gynnie has climbed the peak just left of the setting sun.  Corgis are unimpressed by sunsets.  Sunrises are much more significant because they mean the next meal is very soon:

Al could have reached the summit easily if we'd gone to the right on the glacier -- as many climbers do, unroped -- but this is against Al's better judgement.  Nobody falls into a crevasse they can see.  So we tried the S. ridge direct route, but it was so rocky, not corgi-friendly at all.  We wisely retreated with our tails between our legs -- quite a feat, as neither of us has a tail, and one of us scarcely has legs.   We got to 9200', Al's record.

Here's our 1st camp from our high point on the South ridge:

Early August 2012, baking summer sun and heat.  Just a long dogwalk, really.

You could go to Mars without seeing more exotic terrain.

Here's Al's new El Cheapo(TM) Camp K9 sleeping bag (he still wants an RV):

If he ever sees photos of Bev Levy's RV, he's gonna pee in my boots. 

Scenes of past adventures, seen from our high point (a low-resolution pic):

Camp II, all the pressure's off, one more day of playtime ahead.  This is just above the very old Foam Basin sheep trail.  Perhaps Al senses the ghosts of herding dogs long past. It is even possible that this bare sandy spot at 6400' is soil damage from sheep overgrazing in the early 20th century (one of the reasons for the establishment of the US Forest Service).  The red dot marks our high point on Glacier Peak:

We still have one full day of perfect summer weather ahead of us!  Unable to leave, we'll wander aimlessly over to Red Pass, climb Portal Peak, and wistfully gaze back at where we've been:

Al still wants an RV.  With a refrigerator, air conditioning, and TV.

Come to think, he may have a point... an RV would have cold beer, right?
