Had an awesome and challenging hike/climb to the summit of Mt. Baker over the weekend. Mark Hadland, Liz Fell Pauldine and Amber Smith, our guide from Mountain Madness commenced our adventure on Saturday evening at 10:30 pm at the Coleman Glacier Heliotrope Ridge Trailhead. It was very hard, but overall a great adventure. We reached the summit at around 8 am, minus Mark who returned after ascending to the ice fall on the Coleman Glacier at around 8,500 feet due to a knee injury. It was a long and hot descent back down the Roman Wall, the top part of the Deming Glacier and the Coleman glacier. We arrived back to our car at the Trailhead a little after 2 pm on Sunday. More to come next week as Mark and I tackle, and hopefully summit, Mount Rainier!started at midnight on Saturday night from the Heliotrope Ridge Trail with Mark Hadland, Liz Fell Pauldine and Amber Smith, Mountain Madness guide and we reached the summit on Sunday morning at 8 am minus Mark who returned after ascending to 8,500’ to the Icefall on the Coleman glacier due to a knee injury.
