Mt. Baker North Ridge
August 10, 2012 - August 12, 2012
Standing at 10,781 feet, Mount Baker is the third highest peak in the State of Washington.
It is very glaciated with some of its glaciers dropping below 4,000 feet.
The Baker North Ridge is one of top 5 classic ice routes in the lower 48 states. We'll cross a very crevassed glacier in the dark to get to the base of the route. We then climb 50 degree snow and ice to reach ice climbing (pitches of 70 degrees), and then you get to climb more 50 degree snow and ice to reach the summit. A first class route.
