10-day Mountaineering Course Heads to Rainier

The June 6-15th mountaineering course returned from Mt. Baker yesterday. The group spent the past six days on the Easton glacier, and accomplished a great deal in terms of practicing mountaineering skills. On the summit attempt, the climbers made it up to the Roman Headwall on the Easton Glacier before assessed avalanche conditions prevented the group from ascending further.

Early this morning the group headed down to Paradise at Mt. Rainier, and will be ascending the mountain via the Kautz route. We wish them all the best on their summit attempt!
