Climbing Mount Baker: Volcanic Summit

About this episode

Molly and Carrie share their experiences climbing Mount Baker, discussing the challenges and fun moments they encountered along the way.

Molly and Carrie depart Sherman crater and begin ascending the Roman Wall. They discuss the conditions they experienced on the wall that day. The sisters reflect on the fun people they met while climbing. After the girls tag the summit, they begin the descent — remember, the summit is only the half way point! Molly doesn’t know which way is up. Carrie adjusts the route based on snow conditions. The sisters step off the glacier and experience the best rest break. As they return to the trailhead, Molly experiences a struggle. Carrie and Molly provide final reflections on their Mount Baker climb.
