        It claims mountaineer lives on the regular too. A few years ago two different climbers were lost on the mountain at the same time. I wondered how depressing it would be if they found each other, thinking they were saved, only to learn that the other person was lost too.

      And we live in constant, vague fear of its inevitible eruption and our subsequent demise.

        Not just eruption, it is PRIMED for a total sector collapse like Mt. St. Helens.

        And that is why I forced my friends to take a map of the lahar hazard zones with them when they were buying a house in Pierce County.
