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 descend in frustration, retreating from impassable terrain or poor weather. Only climbers who possessing skill, determination and good weather reach the mountain's higher elevations. 

This key chain salutes the perseverance and dedication of those climbers who have completed the punishing ascent up Mount Baker's slopes to crest its icy summit. The obverse contains a detailed rendering of Mount Baker and includes its elevation. The reverse depicts an intrepid climber triumphantly standing atop Mount Baker's summit. 

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