After spending four days rock climbing we move on to Mount Baker where we spend two days practicing steep snow and ice climbing skills in the icefall of the Lower Coleman Glacier. Climbers practice complex leading and climbing scenarios on varied terrain including two-tooled ice climbing and placing protection on snow and ice routes.
