Mount Baker Summit Climb | Boulder Glacier Route | Spokane Mountaineers

Follow the Spokane Mountaineers summit of Mount Baker via the Boulder Glacier Route. Two teams from the Spokane Mountaineers spent 2.5 days climbing and camping on Mt. Baker. On Day 1, we hiked through an old-growth forest from the Boulder Ridge Trailhead to base camp on Boulder Ridge. On Day 2, we started our ascent at 1am to the Mt. Baker summit. The conditions were great and there were spectacular views from the top. Mt. Baker has a height of 10,781 feet! On the way up, there was a strong smell of sulfur as Mt. Baker is a dormant stratovolcano. We went over some small crevasses and were able to glissade on our way down the mountain.

Great video, my friend. It's a good experience hiking with the group than hiking alone. Greetings from Phuket.

It really is! Thank you for stopping by.

[@NatGeoCraftino]

Nice work Evan!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks David! Mt. Baker was a blast.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Wow! Just wow! When we were chatting via Instagram I wasn’t really thinking of the “hike” just that he was going on one. Then it hit me what he was climbing. Wow. Also excellent job - edits, video A+ Ok, now I am going to watch the 2nd half 😛

[@WithinHikingDistance]

It sure isn't our usual hike 😂 Evan had a great experience. He can't wait for his next climb, which is not planned for yet. Thanks you so much, Heather!

[@the_sheet]

I am 57 and just starting to get into shape to attempt a summit climb! Since the 80's I've been hiking around the likes of ptarmigan ridge and Lake Ann on Shuksan. I proposed to my now wife near Coleman pinnacle. A summit attempt is the next step

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Fantastic, well done to you, amazing accomplishment and looked a great crew as well. Mount Baker looked a beast and even though it took 9 hours you tamed that puppy! Cheers Alan

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you, Alan! It was quite challenging but rewarding.

What a well done video & amazing adventure! Enjoyed your narration describing the hike along the way. Although challenging, looks like you all had a blast. Thanks for sharing your breathtaking summit views with us! 👍

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you very much for your encouragement and for watching! It was challenging but definitely worth it.

[@kattiewillis9591]

Dang brother (This is Chris😂) First off, CONGRATULATIONS! Secondly, this video is pro-quality awesome. I seriosuly think you should submit it to Outside Magazine and some others. Absolutely F A N T A S T I C!!!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks Chris! Glad you liked it. I look forward to making more of these type of videos in the future.

[@bonarontravelling7105]

Great video 👍

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you!

[@odilel3829]

Super Evan .C'est magnifique avec la neige ,le lever du jour.Quelle belle expérience felicitation

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Merci, Odile! C'est très gentil.

[@Soopertraveler]

No nature landscape inspires quite like the mighty mountains. Mountains have the alluring quality, and climbing to the top can teach you a lot about life. This video is a spectacular journey to the top, where many fail to achieve the summit. Great job Evan for both filming beautifully and reaching the summit. A difficult task considering the slippery snow and the elevation. Golden hour during sunrise was my favorite scenes and the sliding down at the end. Highly enjoyed your vlog style. Stay safe and happy travels.

[@WithinHikingDistance]

It was an amazing experience. Evan was grateful his team could make it to the summit. It is always quite uncertain depending on the weather and other factors we have no power on. It was the first time Evan filmed his climb. No doubt there will be more videos like this in the future, mixed with our traditional hiking videos. Thank you so much, Vignesh!

[@libmananchannel]

Hello my friend! Thank you for showing us the wonderful climbing! It's a really nice view! Thank you for showing us the wonderful nature! thank you!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you so much, my friend! We appreciate you!

[@TheSwiftHDSG]

Epic.

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks!

[@soulhikerpaul9720]

Wow! The view from the summit is out of this world! I also love the idea that slides down the slope. Have a great day, my friend!!!❤❤❤

[@WithinHikingDistance]

The views were amazing and the sliding fun. Thanks for visiting!

[@bechabeemusic915]

Very nice video ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you!

[@21Swayzee]

Sweet! On my bucket list for sure! My brother did this hike a few years ago and skiied down. Always nice when it is hot out and you are on the snow. Nothing shines better in the morn (or eve) than some alpine glow. Beautiful. Glad to see your summer got off to an amazing start.

[@WithinHikingDistance]

It was a great climb! There was still quite a lot of snow as it was before the heat waves. Definitely a great way to start the summer. Thanks, man!

[@marriedmountaineers]

Thanks for sharing! Nice to finally see a video for the Boulder Glacier Route. We've been talking about doing Baker again, and this video was very helpful. Great climb!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks! The Boulder Glacier Route is a good one. There's far less people doing that route compared to some of the others on the mountain. Good luck!

[@anthonypayne1]

One word, Epic! A pleasure to watch from start to finish, an experience I'm sure you will never forget. Atb Anthony👍👍👍

[@WithinHikingDistance]

It was a fantastic experience for Evan. He is looking forward to his (not yet planned) next climb in a different location. Thank you, Anthony!

[@OutdoorNomad]

Evan that was just absolutely amazing and beautiful. Congratulations, that was an epic journey never to forgotten. 🤠

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you, Steve! Yes, it was a unique experience. I look forward to my next climb.

[@thenaturemanadventures]

Absolutely a breathtakingly amazing experience! Watching the journey I feel like I've been watching a documentary from national geographic. Only the beginning of many incredible adventures in tbe future. Thank you for bringing us along ☺️🌲

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you very much for your encouragements! I had a great time and can't wait to climb another summit.

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

Wow, well done Evan! 👍 This was not an easy hike, but was definitely one epic adventure. Thanks for capturing it on video and sharing it with us!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you Urska! It was a challenging but fun experience.

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

@@WithinHikingDistance It seems so. :)

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Wow that is just simply amazing! Evan did an excellent job first off of scaling this mountain! But also Evan narrated and filmed this very well. It's honestly his best work especially with everything going on so I know it wasn't an easy task. Congratulations on the summit and taking your channel to the next level! 👏 👏👏👏

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Wow, thank you Eric! It really means a lot to Evan. It was challenging and new, which was exciting. Evan will be keep on summiting others peaks in the Pacific Northwest. We will also keep on hiking together and post our hiking videos too. Thanks again Eric 😊

[@SergeCousineau]

WoW !Wow!Wow! What a trip Evan ! BIG LIKE FROM US 👩‍❤️‍👨 We saw Mount Baker when we went on Vancouver Island…such a beautiful mountain and I saw it also when I landed in Vancouver going skiing at Whistler . Must of been a great trill going up there …must be in shape I think !

All I can say is Simply Awesome. Fantastic accomplishment and great vlogging along the way. It must have been fun to do it with a great group of people as your graduation climb. Very well done.

Thank you so much, Melisa! Evan had a great time and he is looking forward to climbing again 😊🙏

[@MartysCrewOurFamilyAdventures]

What an adventure, Evan! I can't decide which was my favorite view. Sunset on day one or sunrise on day two. Congratulations and job well down to you and all the mountaineers!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you Tony! The views were amazing and the sunrise spectacular. I had a great time.

[@lukasklotzsche007]

Are you part of the Spokeman Mountaineers? I wanna do this end of September for my birthday, but I want a guided tour. Any recommendations?
