Mount Baker (3,286m or 10,781ft) is a fantastic climbing experience for all types of climbers. Providing quick and easy access to large dynamic glaciers, it is a great introductory mountain for those interested in mountaineering but unsure how to take the plunge. It is also an excellent climb for Seven Summits preparation and for advanced climbers wishing to solidify their skills and add to their climbing resume before tackling a bigger peak or are short on time. As the Northernmost volcano in the United States Cascade Range, it is located just 15 miles south of the Canadian border. In clear weather, expect incredible views all the way to the San Juan Islands, Olympic Range, North Cascade mountain range, and Vancouver, BC. CTSS offers two itineraries to fit your specific needs: Our 3-Day Summit Climb is oriented to climbers who want to summit a big mountain, are curious about mountaineering, want a quick refresher, or are simply just short on time. With just enough time to approach the climb, summit, and walk out this itinerary still gives the option of two different summit nights – allowing your guides to work around minor weather systems and increase your chance of success. Or, our 5-Day Baker Alpine Academy is specifically developed for climbers who want a jumping-off point to the greater ranges around the world. We’ll work through the fundamentals of mountaineering step by step while undertaking a summit climb of Baker near the end of your course. Irreplaceable practicum with the chance of putting your skills into action on summit day.
