Mount Baker Alpine Adventure [3-day Beginner Climb]

Last year, Sportrock Climbing Guides ran our first ever Alpine Climbing Expedition to Mt. Baker (also known as Kulshan), and it sold out in a week! We are so thrilled to share this incredible opportunity with our community again in 2026, with 2 expeditions hand-picked for the Sportrock community.

Mt. Baker is the perfect introduction to glacier travel and mountaineering, in addition to being one of the most recognizable summits in the US. The second-largest glaciated peak in North America, this active volcano is climbed in a 3-day expedition. You’ll learn how to travel on glaciers, protect yourself from crevasses, and more. While it will require training and preparation, this climb doesn’t require specific alpine experience or technical skills. You’ll be guided at a 3:1 ratio, ensuring a high level of support and instruction.

If you’re ready to step it up a level, our second trip this year will attempt to summit 2 peaks- El Dorado, and Klawatti, offering a mix of alpine rock climbing, glacier travel, mountaineering, and more! Given the more technical nature of these routes, you’ll be guided at a 2:1 ratio, ensuring lots of personalized support and instruction. Climbers should have completed, at least, the Mt. Baker climb in 2025 or 2026 to participate, or have similar experience in alpine terrain. Please reach out if you’re not sure if this trip is for you!

El Dorado and Klwatti [4-day Intermediate Alpine Climb]

Last year, Sportrock Climbing Guides ran an add-on to summit Mt. Shuksan after our inaugural Mt. Baker climb- this year, we're kicking it up a notch! This intermediate alpine adventure can be purchased as an add-on to the 2026 Mt. Baker trip, or as a stand-alone climb. This climb will include more technical elements, a transition from glacier travel to 5th class rock-climbing, and strenuous approaches and descents, with 3 nights at camp. Given the more technical nature of these routes, you’ll be guided at a 2:1 ratio, ensuring lots of personalized support and instruction. Participants should have completed the Sportrock Mt Baker trip in either 2025 or 2026, or have equivalent experience.
