8/1: Just wanted to give you a quick update about our trip to Baker.
All went smooth. Weather was great for the climbing days. Bad weather came in as we where hiking out. All clients reached the summit in good style.
The climb was fun and the ridge is in good condition still. Creavases are starting to open a bit, but still manageable and safe. We had a great time.
