8/2 8-Day Cascades Course: Baker Summit Attempt

Our 8-Day Cascades course just checked in from the field.  They made Mount Baker summit attempt yesterday but were turned around by a very large and dubious snow bridge.  With the warm conditions and slushy snow, it wasn't safe to ascend higher.  However, spirits are still high!   The team is going to hike out today, eat well deserved burgers in Concrete (yes, that's actually the name of a town) and then head out to Mount Shuksan with their rock gear in tow.
