Mt. Baker
Mount Baker Climbs & Seminars: Glacier Skills, Steep Routes, and Ski Missions
With massive glaciers, steep alpine routes, and a summit at 10,781 feet, Mount Baker is one of the best training peaks in North America—and one of our favorite places to climb. Located in Washington’s North Cascades, it’s a natural classroom for developing glacier travel, alpine climbing, and backcountry skiing skills.
RMI’s Mount Baker programs offer something for every mountaineer. Climb the classic Easton Glacier route or challenge yourself on the technical North Ridge. Join a Mount Baker Seminar to sharpen your skills for bigger expeditions, or combine your summit bid with a ski descent. From first-time climbers to experienced alpinists and skiers, this is a mountain that builds confidence—and a serious climbing resume.
