Update - August 26th 5:35 pm Just checking in from camp! All our safe and sound after our successful summit of Mt. Shuksan earlier today. Original Dispatch Hey everybody! It is Billy checking in here from the summit of Mt. Shuksan with 100 percent of our crew. We all styled our way up the Central Gully. And yeah, we're enjoying a nice sunny day on top, a little bit of smoke in the air but not too bad, a little bit of breeze but again not too bad. We'll check in once more when we get back into camp safe and sound. So that's all for now. Whelp, see ya. RMI Guide Billy Nugent

Mt. Shuksan: Nugent & Team Ready for Summit Bid

Hi all, Checking in after a great day of anchor and crevasse rescue training out here on the Sulphide Glacier. Our team enjoyed gorgeous views and perfect warm, sunny weather as we continued moving through our Expedition Seminar curriculum. We knocked off around 5:00 this evening and sat for a quick summit briefing in preparation for tomorrow's summit climb... If all goes well we'll be checking in tomorrow from Shuksan's beautiful summit. Hasta mañana! RMI Guide Billy Nugent

Shuksan Seminar: Nugent & Team Check In from Their First Camp

Hey, it's Billy here checking in on the expedition seminar here on the Sulphide Glacier on Mount Shuksan. Our team hiked up from the trail head today all the way up to the base of the glacier and put in a camp on a very, very dry Mount Shuksan. We actually camped a little higher than we normally would because the lower glacier is down to bare ice and it's impossible to dig tents platforms. We are still within our permitted zone so all is good with the National Park Service. We are hanging out, chewing on food and relaxing after a long day of hard work. I will check in tomorrow after a day of training, and let you guys know how it went. So long for now. RMI Guide Billy Nugent
