IFMGA guide Jonathon Spitzer took a long-time Alpine Ascents climber out to the North Cascades last weekend. The
goal is to get him ready for climbing the Matterhorn in 2014. Despite the
ominous weather forecast they had a very productive training climbing technical
rock routes mixed with steep snow in there boots and crampons. In
addition to the beauty of Washington Pass they had some lovely visitors at the base of
one of their climbs.
