Our Baker team are well underway.

Yesterday they climbed from the trailhead at Schreiber’s Meadow up to High Camp which is approximately 5,500ft on the edge of the Easton Glacier. They had consistent light rain the whole way and rolled into camp in 3.5 hours before doing a workshop on knots and getting an early night.

The weather cleared as per the forecast overnight and looks much better for the rest of the week. Still lots of cloud but patches of blue sky.

Today they spent a full day training and mastering new skills, hitting efficient cramponing, ice axe arrest, rope travel, running belay, knots and hitches and each team member finished by setting up a 3 person glacier rope team start to finish.

Tomorrow they’ll head out across the Easton Glacier for a glacier walk and then train crevasse rescue and climbing fixed lines.

A big shout out and congratulations to Larry who summited Baker with Robert last week too!

Cheers
CTSS Team
