Mt. Baker: Easton Hoch and Entire Team Summit
Posted by: Joe Hoch, Mitch Valaitis, Jack Ritterson

Elevation: 10,781'




On July 18th the Mt. Baker Easton Climb summited all climbers and guides on a sunny, windy morning around 9:30 am. We had been climbing with a forecast of possible rain in the afternoon, but the building clouds cleared for us at the top of the mountain for some great views.
Just as we returned to the tents around 2 pm, the sky opened up. Nowhere better than a dry tent after a summit to watch the rain pour down.
