The 13-day Course has Been Busy



Snow School on Little Tahoma

The guides called to check in with an update today and it sounds like they have been busy! After the first 5 days of the course on Little Tahoma were complete, the group spent the holiday weekend in the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA chasing the shade. With temps close to 100 F over the weekend,  the group made good use of the early hours of the day to get climbing on the great climbing crags around Icicle Canyon. When it got too hot to climb, they stayed busy eating ice cream and swimming until the temps became more bearable again.

After the weekend of practicing rock climbing the group headed into the Ingalls Peak area. They put their skills to good use on a classic alpine rock climb up Ingalls Peak this morning, and everyone had a great time. They are back at camp and enjoying the rest.

They will be packing up and heading out for a couple more days of climbing as they make their way back towards Seattle, wrapping up the course on Thursday.Thanks to guide Peter Moore for the great photos of their adventures!
