AAI 'Staff Climbing Day' at Mt. Erie

With summer season in full swing, and AAI guides and climbers coming in and out of the office on their way to enjoy the beautiful North Cascades, we office folk were starting to feel a little antsy about sitting inside for another sunny day in Bellingham.

So we declared yesterday a Staff Climbing Day at Mt. Erie. In the afternoon, after wistfully looking out the windows for half the day, we grabbed one of the vans, some gear and ropes, and drove south. There is really nothing better than a Thursday at Mt. Erie in the early evening light.

We had a great night - we climbed hard and laughed a lot. Here are a few photos and team shots:
