Mt Baker Summit Climb - Private 5th Class Rock Avalanche GearA three day, two night mountaineering expedition to summit one of the most glaciated peaks in the lower 48. We hike to camp, where we'll teach a thorough snow school to build efficiency and safety techniques needed to climb Baker with a guide. The next day, we'll get a predawn "alpine" start to attempt the summit and descend back to camp. After a hot dinner we'll get a full night's sleep before packing up camp and returning to the trailhead on day 3.
