Wrapping up an awesome 5 days with a bit of everything, rain, sun & now some smoke from the wildfires as our team finishes their successful 5 Day Alpine Academy with us.

Late in the season the route was challenging with more crevasse crossings and end runs than usual. They climbed Roman headwall well with two pieces of running pro and some scree walking at the top.

Everyone did really well with 100% on top!

After the summit they dropped back, had an early night and this morning did a small bit of final training before packing down camp and heading back to the trailhead just as the smoke was settling in.

Thanks everyone for a great season on Baker!
