This is a one day ascent of Baker via the Squak Route. Touring equipment required. All participants must be comfortable and competent skinning uphill in icy conditions and descending in variable conditions. You must have skied with me before and must have prior experience on large elevation gain days (>6000 feet in 8 hrs).

Pace will be moderate, but breaks will be minimal. Prepare to carry ALL of the water you need for the day as running water may not be available.
