NEOWISE Comet!

View of NEOWISE Comet over Seattle from Camp Schurman
The NEOWISE Comet has been blazing through the northwest part of the night sky over the last couple days.  Climbers on the Emmons-Winthrop have been able to view it just after sunset when looking above the light from the Puget Sound.  Astronomers have surmised it won't be back for another 6,800 years!  Check the latest route condition updates below and maybe add binoculars or an alpine telescope to your climbing kit this July.  See you on the mountain!
