Mt. Maude, North Face:

An Independence Day "blitzkrieg" on a classic of the Central Cascades...

Who:  The Hummels, Sky, Paul, Bill and Sam

Since I first purchased Fred Beckey's "green bible" many years ago, I've been fascinated with skiing Mt. Maude's North Face.  After a failed attempt to climb it after my trip to Denali back in 1999, it was time to get down to business!

This is an aerial photo of the face taken last fall by John Scurlock

I didn't take any still photos on this trip, but instead took almost 1GB worth of footage on my digital camera.  Josh took footage as well and sent it to me on disc.  A dash of humor, some crankin' tunes and you got yourself a movie!  I made 2 versions, take your pick based on your connection speed.
