Recap from 6-day Mountaineering course

On May 26th, nine climbers along with guides Jonathon Spitzer and Tom Chambers left the Seattle office to start a 6-day mountaineering course.  This course was conducted deep in the heart of the North Cascades National Park on Sahale Peak.   During the course, the climbers encountered unfavorable weather with heavy rain and snow at times.  The weather did not prevent them from having an excellent course and covering in depth mountaineering subjects, however.  The mountainous environment was perfect for teaching avalanche prevention, white-out navigation, and mountain weather during the  course.

Thanks to all our participants for coming to join us on our 6-day mountaineering program!
