Climb a Cascades glaciated volcano: Kulshan, also known as Mt. Baker, via routes ranging from introductory general mountaineering to technical pitched ice climbing and exposed steep snow climbing. “Kulshan” means The Shooting Place in the Nooksack language, refering to the abundance of hunting opportunities at the foot of the mountain. At 10,781 feet it is the 3rd tallest mountain in Washington, the 2nd most glaciated volcano in the Cascade Range and holds the world record for the most snowfall in a single season! With so much glaciated terrain and the combination of general mountaineering routes and steep and technical snow/ice climbs, Kulshan is the perfect spot for learning mountaineering skills and training for winter alpine objectives in the Greater Ranges. Skyward Mountaineering guides general and technical mountaineering routes on the north and south sides of Kulshan, in addition to offering instructional introduction to mountaineering courses.
