10-day Mountaineering course on Mt. Baker

Guide Lee Lazzara checked in this morning, and the group is doing well. They are camped at the railroad grade at roughly 6000 ft. and working on crevasse rescue skills today. Yesterday the group faced the tough weather seen throughout the Cascades with wind and snow showers, but still managed to get skills practice in. Tomorrow the group plans to move up to 7,200' with a predicted summit attempt for Sunday, depending on conditions. The group returns to Seattle on Tuesday before heading down to Mt. Rainier for a summit attempt on the Kautz route.
