====== Day 1 ====== * New course, new people: Justin and Kurt as guides. Julius, Ben, Brat (only for the first half), Chris (the same Chris as in the AMTL1) and I as <del>guidees</del> people being guided. Our first three days are easy to summarize: if the weather was good we went climbing, if not we did skills. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl2_006.jpg?800|}}\\ Training to lead on rock. {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl2_016.jpg?800|}}\\ Rapelling fun after a multi pitch climb switching leads. * Our base was Leavenworth, a bavarian themed town: {{:travelblog:2010_cascade_range:usa_2010_amtl2_010.jpg?800|}}\\ WTF? I didn't take pictures of "Das Copy Shop" or "Der Sportmen" but you can guess that it was pretty hilarious (and of course nothing like in bavaria). * On Day four or five we went back to Baker and did some ice climbing. It was pretty cool, but I didn't take any pictures because the weather was pretty much grey in grey. * I know.. boooring.
