Lead Guide Stuart Robertson called in to say that all is well with the entire team. They are currently on the south side of Mt. Baker for the 6-day mountaineering skills portion of the program. The group did snow school this morning and plans to work on anchors this afternoon. The team plans to make a summit attempt tomorrow before a predicted stormy weather system moves in. They plan to have some fun practicing serac climbing with ice tools, and continuing skills training on Friday before heading back to Seattle to transition to the Mt. Rainier portion of the program.
