All is well on balmy Mount Baker! The Easton route is climbing *exceptionally well* with a solid, well-established track on the upper mountain and Roman Headwall. Our only complaint? The tarn at Sandy Camp needs a diving board… 🛟

Goodies from the Guide Development Program! 📸

In case you’re new here, our BIPOC Guide Development Program provides mentorship, community, and technical training to the next generation of mountain guides. You may have seen our 2026 crew drilling rope skills in North Bend, dropping into crevasses on Mount Baker, or even holding important strategy meetings (over pizza & icecream) at the Seattle waterfront. We’re off to climb El Dorado next - say hello if you spot us!

This trailblazing program is backed by a strong support network of very cool guide mentors, a mastermind leadership team Maryanna Brown & Jorge M 🇲🇽🇺🇸, and rad gear sponsors The North Face & Black Diamond Equipment. Our training is ✨free✨ to each of the aspiring guides it serves.

We may be biased, but spending the summer with this team seems pretty hard to top ☀️

Rainier through a hazy lens 😶‍🌫️

This unique lighting is due to wildfire smoke drifting over from fires across eastern Washington. We’re thinking of everyone affected while keeping an eye on the forecast here in the mountains. 

Our guides and risk management team are assessing conditions hour by hour and making sure we’re keeping our climbers safe. Conditions change quickly with elevation and wind, and we’re grateful to have such a skilled team staying on top of it.

For now, pretty unreal views from the Emmons❕
