The highest peak in the North Cascades, this mountain has been known and loved for thousands of years. Create your own memories with Kulshan/Mt. Baker and climb it with us in a three-day experience that includes a mountaineering skills clinic.

Day 1: Groups will meet and drive to the trailhead to start hiking around 10-11 AM. They will hike 5 miles to high camp, at 6,000 feet. Part 1 of skills clinic will occur that afternoon.
Day 2: Part 2 of the snow skills clinic runs until noon, then the groups will prepare for the climb. There will be an early bedtime in anticipation of an 11 PM wake up.
Day 3: The climb starts at midnight, with a goal of summiting at 6-7 AM. Groups will be back at high camp by noon to pack up. The return time to the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan area will be dependent on group speed, trail conditions, and traffic conditions.
