Mount Baker — Sunday, Aug. 5, 2018

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Great weather for a summit.  Got an alpine start ~ 3am and reached the peak around 7:30 / 8. That being said, the way down was pretty brutal.  Sliding across mashed potatoes the whole way.  There were quite a few crevasses opened up as well, I imagine that will only increase with the hot weather.  To be 100% clear, this is not a non technical hike.  You need crampons, ropes, climbing harness / helmet, and glacier travel skills (crevasse rescue, self arrest, etc).
