Had an opportunity to climb Mt Baker with Miyar Adventures. This was my first real climb (3 days in total) and I was very impressed with the company and guiding services they provided. Namely:
- Meticulous gear check with plenty of guidance and recommendations to make sure that everyone will have all the necessary equipment and it'll be as light as possible.
- Very professional guide (Glen): knows when to take it easy, when to push, how to deal with group dynamics, when to advise, when to let us solve our own problems.
- Lots of learning opportunities during the climb itself (camping techniques, glacier travel, safety etc.).
Overall I learned a lot, felt safe the entire time, and was very pleased with the climb itself!
