Want to test your rescue climbing skills?  Feel like an old dog who could use  a week of useful rescue climbing instruction to improve you abilities.  I can think of no better place to put your rescue ability to the test the Mount Baker.

Hello Friends. Would you like to join us for a glacier travel, crevasse rescue, ice climbing, snow-camping session including a climb of Mount Baker (at 3285 metres, the most northerly volcano in the 48 contiguous United States) for a week during June or September? It is a good way for you to meet with some of our expedition leaders, including Daniel Mazur, and learn and hone your glacier travel and rescue and ice climbing skills. You can also test some of the equipment we use in the Himalaya too...

Ask lots of questions, then sign up for our glacier school: info@SummitClimb.com
