Final 6-day course of the season checks in

Lead guide Victor McNeil called to check in today from the south side of Mt. Baker. The group is enjoying a beautiful week of weather, with sunny skies and high pressure predicted through the weekend. Today Victor and guide Sam Hennessey have been teaching anchor building, advanced crampon techniques, as well as belaying and rappelling this afternoon. Yesterday the team hiked over for a photo shoot overlooking the Deming glacier as well. The plan is to make a summit attempt on Thursday before wrapping up skills and hiking out on Friday.
