"Nice and comfortable 3 day adventure up and down Mount Baker. This one was a RMI guided tour up. I'd never used a paid guided mountain service before, but I thought they provided an excellent experience. The guides are top notch. Met some great people and made some new friends." — zachmitch • Jul 18, 2024
"Came within 200’ vertical of the summit of Shuksan. Punched through the soft ice layer to a hole 20’ deep and who knows how far from there. Bailed. But at least climbed Mt Shuksan - Sulfide Peak but even the snow was horrible on that sinking up to our hips. Fantastic ski out! Definitely a two ice-tool summit and rap off tho.

"One of the three guys plan on going to the summit with got sick so we did not end up leaving early enough to attempt to summit but we didn’t make it to about 7500 feet and found a path through the glacier" — WanderingHutch • Oct 15, 2023
"No glacier gear is needed as of today. Scared from a Summit, but would not recommend going all the way to the tongue of the Glacier as the climb out. It’s a little bit difficult." — castrode • Jul 12, 2023
"What a beautiful mountain. Took the Squak Glacier Route to the summit on a 2-day trip, less crowded and same difficulty as Easton Glacier Route. Overall rating 9/10, beautiful glaciers, views, and the Sherman Crater made a cool side attraction" — MountainQuest • May 29, 2023
