May 12- 17 6-day Mountaineering Course doing great on Baker

Lead guide Lee Lazzara called in yesterday and reported that the whole group is doing well. They got about 4" of snow on Sunday-Monday, followed by thunderstorms and then a sunny afternoon. Welcome to the Cascades in May! The team is on the lower Coleman glacier and spent time yesterday working on crampon practice and rope team travel. They expect to move up to a higher camp today and hope for enough of a weather window to make a summit attempt on Thursday.
