Christopher and Kevin climb Baker NR

August 07, 2006

Yeah! Christopher H and Kevin climbed the classic North Ridge of Mount Baker!

Chris said,

We pulled out of camp at 1:50 am, hit the crux just after daybreak, and moved up the route under the best weather conditions anyone could have wanted. The route was quite complex and challenging.

I'm certain they had a great time! Chris said,

Kevin was his usual form singing most of the way including "I Shot the Sheriff" as we hit the 9600 ft., 70 degree crux.

Congratulations on a great climb!
