Pics from the N.Cascades

IFMGA guide Jonathon Spitzer took a long-time Alpine Ascents climber out to the North Cascades last weekend. The goal is to get him ready for climbing the Matterhorn in 2014.  Despite the ominous weather forecast they had a very productive training climbing technical rock routes mixed with steep snow in there boots and crampons.  In addition to the beauty of Washington Pass they had some lovely visitors at the base of one of their climbs.
