The highest point in the Northern Cascades with an elevation of 10,778 feet, Mount Baker is Washington State's third highest peak. 

Supporting twelve glaciers that cover more than twenty square miles, its steep slopes contain more snow and ice than most of the other Cascade volcanoes combined. Year after year, Mount Baker draws a steady stream of ambitious climbers interested in a challenging ascent. But many who initiate the climb quickly descend in frustration, retreating due to impossible terrain or deteriorating weather. Only those climbers who possess the skill, determination and favorable weather are left to negotiate the mountain's higher elevations. 

This key chain celebrates the achievement of those climbers brave enough to scale Mount Baker's wind-whipped slopes. The obverse contains a detailed rendering of Mount Baker and includes its elevation. The reverse depicts an intrepid climber scaling  the mountains snow-packed slopes. 

Minted in MerlinGold,® a proprietary brass alloy that simulates the look and feel of gold, this key chain comes sealed in a polybag with a header card.
