Mt. Baker - North Ridge

This is for people who want to take their climbing to the next level in the cascades. For this climb it is required to have previous glacier experience or previous ice climbing experience. 

To be successful at this climb you need to be able to carry a 40-50 lbs in your backpack while maintaining 1000 vertical feet an hour of elevation gain. You need to have the mental fortitude and fitness for a 12 hour summit day.

Basic balance and movement are required. During day 2 of our program we will go over all the technical skills you need to safely climb the route.

Ice climbing technique, ice anchors, snow anchors, rope team travel, belaying, lead belaying, knot tying, and many more. If time permits we will take a deep dive into crevasse rescue etc. If you have these skills already please contact us and we can make this a 3 day Itinerary.

This climb is the test piece for glacier climbing in the lower 48. After this climb you will be able to climb routes in Europe, Alaska, and potentially move into climbing in the greater ranges.
