When they could not stop their quarrels, their father Sahale struck them all down, and they formed into the volcanoes we see today.<\/p>\n<p>In Cowlitz mythology, things are different: Tahoma (AKA Mt Rainier) had an argument with his two wives, Lavelatla (AKA MSH) and Pahto (AKA Adams). Lavelatla became jealous, blew her top, and knocked the head off Tahoma.<\/p>\n<p>So, Loowit has always been a special place, long before 1980. Each of us had climed it before&#8230; for me, the last time was in the runup to Vinson, in November 2013. But we were all excited to be back. This day was a chance to explore a spectacular mountain with friends&#8230; to bask in the grandeur of one of nature&#8217;s most sacred places&#8230; to challenge ourselves with a brisk day hike&#8230; to be unplugged. And, to ensure the experience was not sullied by the exhaustion of work, we arranged to spend the nights before and after at a hotel nearby in Woodland. #posh<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5712\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5712\" src=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248-707x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248-707x800.jpg 707w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248-133x150.jpg 133w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248-584x660.jpg 584w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00248-768x868.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jerry starts brewing coffee before we even get to sleep.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5713\" style=\"width: 453px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5713\" src=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2-453x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2-453x800.jpg 453w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2-85x150.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2-374x660.jpg 374w, https:\/\/pottinger.net\/osm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSC00249-2-768x1357.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">He takes this stuff very seriously.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Up at 1:00 AM&#8230; out the door at 2:00 AM.

I thought, <em>Loowit is coming and She is Pissed<\/em>. Once again my GoPro 7 stuttered and froze just at the wrong moment, precisely as it had on Olympus a couple weeks earlier. <em>I need a new camera!<\/em>\u00a0 As we approached the top, I thought of the last time I had been here. It was a totally different experience in winter, intentionally so: I was preparing for Vinson, thus climbed with a heavy pack, in Olympus Mons boots. At this location I had felt whipped with exhaustion, really struggled to make the last steps in snowshoes, with the heel stops all the way up. Getting to the rim was a big deal for me, and I was elated to have made it with my brother and buddies John and Doug. I was sorry only that we could not creep to the edge to peer straight down, for fear of breaking a cornice. Today I felt fine, just perfectly fine and dandy. Older&#8230; lighter&#8230; warmer&#8230; more experienced&#8230; wiser. The Seven were under my belt, and I had nothing to prove to anyone, not even to myself. This was all about enjoyment. And we enjoyed the hell out of it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5723\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
