Seven of us just finished out alpine guides exam which took place in the North Cascades in Washington. Here are some photos from the 10 days. I'm too mentally tired from it to say much more at the moment. I learned a lot, and I can't wait to find out if I passed!

We climbed the ridge that is split by shade and sun, and then descended the left hand ridge. This is Mt. Forbidden.
