Sunrise on Mt Baker

I came home from rock climbing in Leavenworth, stayed up late packing and looking at the weather forecast for Mt Baker.  In the morning I jumped in the car and headed north, where I met Kim, Fraser, and Renton at the ranger station in Glacier.  This crew picked Mt Baker for their first mountaineering objective, and we had perfect weather and warm temperatures.  We were able to hang out on the summit for over a half-hour!  It was the nicest Baker summit I've had this year.











Statistics:  Pro Guiding Service - Mt Baker, Coleman-Deming Route (III glacier, steep snow).  29-31 July, with Kim, Fraser, and Renton.
