Mount Baker Squak Glacier

As straightforward of an up and down on Mount Baker as you can get. Great to revisit this route, but man is it kind of a boring slog in the sense that the views don’t change that much. The conditions this weekend were a little uncertain to go for anything bigger and I certainly needed the confidence booster after last week’s debacle.

Notes

  • This was probably ~14 miles and ~7400 feet of vertical gain in about 7 ½ hours.
