100% of the Mt. Baker Easton Glacier team stood on top around 6 am this morning, August 19th. After facing thunderstorms and unrelenting rain, the team led by RMI Guides Sam Hoffman, Jack Ritterson, and Dylan Anderson were able to capitalize on a early-morning weather window.
Hi Everyone -

RMI Guide Tatum Whatford and the Mt. Baker Leave No Trace (LNT) team were on the summit of Mt. Baker at 6:41 am today. The team climbed via the Coleman Demming Route.
This program equips participants with the skills and knowledge needed to achieve an LNT Level 2 Instructor certification, and empowers them to effectively teach and certify individuals in Leave No Trace Level 1 Instructor courses and Awareness Workshops. The terrain covered on Mt. Baker serves as an ideal classroom, offering diverse environments such as old-growth forests, heather meadows, and immense glaciers, allowing us to focus specifically on LNT techniques relevant to alpine environments.
Reaching the summit of Mt. Baker is a great way to end the week! Congrats Team!
Way to go Benjamin! We are so happy for you and proud of you!

RMI Guide Seth Burns and team checked in from the summit of Mt. Shuksan this morning. It looks like they had a beautiful blue bird sky and excellent conditions for their climb of Fisher Chimneys. They will descend back to camp and continue to the trail head later today to complete their adventure.
Nice work team!
