Mt. Baker's North Ridge is a thrilling route for the experienced climber. With intricate glacial navigation, steep snow and ice climbing, rock scrambling, and a beautiful summit vista, this route rewards climbers with a well-balanced mountaineering skill set.
Mt. Baker's moderate elevation and astounding winter snow totals keep this route in good climbing shape for much longer each season than similar routes such as Liberty Ridge. This is a great preparatory climb for Liberty Ridge, Alpamayo, or the Upper West Rib of Denali.
