No need to contact leader for permission, but the trip will be contingent on the start of Phase 2 Safe Start Washington.  See https://www.mountaineers.org/membership/the-mountaineers-covid-19-response for details.  Guidelines include: carpooling not recommended; bring your own personal equipment, including shelter; stay well within your ability level.

Let's hope we can go, because early June is the prime time for the Coleman-Deming Route on Mt. Baker!
