RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, Grayson Swingle and Henry Coppolillo led their team to the summit of Mt. Baker today on the Mt. Baker Summit & Ski Descent program Apriil 30 - 2 May, 2021.
The team gathered on Friday and made their ascent to Sandy Camp. Yesterday they spent the morning with a Ski Mountaineering Day School practicing basic mountaineering skills. They took a short ski tour in the afternoon to get in some turns.
Today they made their summit attempt and reached the top of Mt. Baker in the early afternoon. They will be enjoying their ski descent back to camp this afternoon and will pack their gear and descend to the trailhead.
Congratulations to the team!
