Dale and Betsy carried the sign for St. Agnes School West Chester all the way to the summit. Betsy’s daughter goes to St. Agnes. Go Stags!

As we were climbing down we met this dog. He had problems with his eyes on the bright glacier before so he now wears goggles.

We're back in the Valley now! Lunch today at Cheget.
