Guide Service:  Shasta Mountain Guides.   Ben and Leslie - who were great - very steady.

The crew - Patrick, Turloch, Kaj and Steve (plus me obviously)

These are shots from Kaj and Steve's cameras - you can see other shots if you go back up one level.

We didn't end up summiting due to a pretty heavy whiteout condition starting at Helen Lake (10,000')  most of the time we couldn't see from one end of our short rope team to the other.  We bailed on the guides decision - applause all around - just below the Thumb at around 12,000+  Despite not summitting, all had a very fun time and we resolved to return as a group to try again.
