My first climb of the 50 Classics. Definitely lived up to the name.
Snow bridge over Bean Creek is no longer safe. Summitted Bean and then traversed over to the upper slope of Mary and a very broad expanse of snow. All snow fast dissapearing.

Enjoyable scramble with beautiful views and some good glissade opportunities this time of the year. The only crux is making sure you find the "key ramp."

Baker Lake East Bank trail north to south trailheads open and cleared of fallen trees.

Cold, foggy June scramble, dusting of fresh snow.
