Altitude
At 10,781 feet, Mount Baker’s summit is high enough for some climbers to feel mild altitude effects such as shortness of breath or fatigue. Staying hydrated, moving at a steady pace, and spending a night at high camp helps your body adjust comfortably to the elevation. We will not go above 8,000 feet on this course.
