6/8 10-Day Mountaineering Course Summits Baker!

Our 10-Day Mountaineering Course just checked in from Sandy Camp on Baker!   They were proud to report that they just summited Mount Baker.  Despite the warm sunny weather, they had a cold snap overnight which made for excellent conditions.   On the way back from the summit, they worked on crevasse rescue for a bit.  Everyone is great spirits and a little tired after their long day. They intend to stay at Sandy Camp and work on skills until they come back to Seattle on Saturday to regroup and head off to climb the Kautz on Rainier.

5/31 6-Day Mountaineering Course

Our 6-Day Mountaineering Course just checked in from a very hot and sunny Mount Baker.  They are on their way back from a summit attempt.  Unfortunately, the team had to turn around halfway up the headwall.   However, they had a great time and learned a lot!

June 2ed Mt Rainier climb summits with all team members

Guide Brent Langlinais here, pleased to report that our team successfully climbed the Disappontment Cleaver route to the tippy top of Mt Rainier and all team members were in the summit crater shortly after sunrise. The view today was incredible and we could see all the way south to Mt. Jefferson in central Oregon, and north to Mt. Baker just a few miles from the Canadian border. We are back down to Camp Muir now and beginning the walk down trailhead shortly. 

Cheers!

10-Day North Cascades Training Course Summits Rainier via Kautz

Our 10-Day North Cascades Training Course just called in from the summit of Mount Rainier.   The conditions were great!  They got in three pitches of ice and now they are basking in the sunshine on the summit.  Congratulations team!

3-Day Muir Climb -- Moving up to High Camp

W Yesterday mostly sunny skies and cooling winds allowed our entire team to ascend successfully to Camp Muir in pleasant climbing weather. 

Our forecasted storm system moved in over night, arriving with some winds, thunder, lightning, and some snow above 10,000'. 

Currently, our team is all in good spirits and practicing snow school this morning while we are planning to move up to High Camp at Ingraham Flats shortly. 

Weather for our summit day will dictate what our team does from there, but we are setting ourselves up to be in position in case the snow and inclement weather allows a good climbing window.
