Our climbing date for Mt Baker is rapidly approaching and seeing how our snow travel knowledge is limited our climbing group had scheduled a day to go over these techniques. Matt and Kent have lots of experience and it was great to get out for the day and learn some new things.
We headed up to Alpental resort which is just little over an hour east of Seattle. I could not believe how much snow was up there in June. We had no problems getting on snow right out of the parking lot.
The weather was not quite what we had hoped but the clouds did keep the snow from getting too slushy so that was good for self arrest practice.
We were out there for about 5 hours and practiced snow travel while roped up as well as various ways to self arrest. My favorite was to arrest and catch yourself as well as a person roped from you that had fallen. Amazing how much weight you can catch. Check out the pictures from the link above. I am pretty psyched with how a few of the action shots came out.
