Scope and content
Mt. Baker trip - Lifeline work on east side of Mt. Baker. As they approached the summit of Mount Baker, Kiser's party was stopped by a 400 foot wall of ice. Kiser, dragging a line line behind him, used his spiked toes to kick-step his way up the precipice. He then secured the line so that the other five climbers could follow. Asahel left the lifeline to get the photograph of the two remaining climbers.
