After several days of training in the lower Winthrop glacier, our team moved up to Camp Schurman this morning with hopes to summit early tomorrow morning, weather willing and the creek don't rise!

8-Day Rainier: Days 1& 2
Super warm weather has made this trip a sweat shop, but the sun is sure nice! The team is doing strong work: yesterday with heavy loads to camp at Glacier Basin, and today with a steep haul up and over St. Elmo's Pass to camp on the Winthrop glacier.

May 18 Ten-Day Course wraps it up
Inclement weather kept our first ten-day course from summiting Mount Baker last week, though a valiant attempt in an extreme whiteoute was made.
Weather for the Rainier portion was much improved and the team enjoyed spectacular settings on their approach to the Kautz Glacier route.
Day One:

Day Three:
Snow conditions slowed our team down on summit day, but the climbers enjoyed an exciting ascent of the Kautz ice chute before turning around at 12,000 ft.
Day four:
We descended back into the clouds and battled our way back through whiteout and soft snow to Paradise. Good times.
