I booked this trip through Alpine Ascents in order to learn some alpine mountaineering skills before I go diving into crevass fields on my own. I had been told Mt Baker is a great introduction to alpining given the landscape and condition of the glacier. Was interesting stepping over the crevasses and gaining an appreciaton for just how deep they go. Overall I would definitely rate this as a challenging hike, especially if you haven't done much hiking in snow. The first day is pretty cruisey but the 2nd day is reasonably demanding. Was surprised as to how hot it was at Sandy Camp. Even during the night you could walk around in shorts and a T Shirt despite being on a glacier. The summit was cooler but probably only around 5 degrees, certainly looks colder in the photos. Doing it in the heat does bring on other challenges though, the ice becomes less stable and more mushy and crevasses become more of a threat. Didn't have to worry about avalanches on our route but did hear and see some minor avalanches on the more steeper cliffs not far from the camp.
