Longest Stay on the summit of Mt Baker.

[Pilchuck71]

Many years ago I climbed Mt Baker for the first time with a guy who possibly had the record for longest stay at the summit, possibly 30 days or something.

I am wondering if anyone remembers anything about this.

I am ashamed to say I cannot remember the guys name (Glenn?).

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

t_rutl - Would you mind asking your good friend?

I met said guy through a coworker of my ex wife. Mutual friend named Mike Eedie?

I remember having a blast on the climb and some great conversations.

I would really like to reconnect and just see how things have been going.

If memory serves me well, a few years after our climb I saw some of his photographs for sale at Fred Meyer (Posters) and I would be interested in at least learning his real name so I cold track down some of his work.

Thanks,

His name is Glenn Williams.. he took photos and sold them at fred meyer. his goal was to spend a month on all the cascade volcanoes.. but after glacier he stopped. I think he only had Rainier left if memory serves me correct.

 

I helped in ferry loads up Baker/Adams, and Glacier peak for his month long stays.

 

I use to have his phone number, but he changed it and fell off the world as far as i can tell.. last i saw he stopped doing mountain pics and switched to doing spirograph art..

 

this is a link to a story he was writing on glacier peak.

Glenn also has his photo cards at Feathered Friends. He is still around and I can give you his info if you would like. Send PM.

maybe i have faulty memory or something, but i think much further back in the history of Mt. Baker there was a guy living up there for a long period of time. I remember reading about it...maybe someone else will remember what I'm talking about...

[Pilchuck71]

Porter -

Did you read it in Koma Kulshan - History of Mt Baker?

[olyclimber]

Might have been...but i don't have the book lying around to confirm.

I am pretty sure that there are some unrecovered bodies up there which have been there for decades, not months.

Duly noted....your perception is remarkable...How sophomoric of me not to consider that as a response.

Good to know Glenn's still around...whatever happened to his website?

 

Here's another spot for his stories:

So did he finally do Hood...when I met him on Pilchuck he was having trouble getting permits?

First of all thanks to those who helped me track Glenn down.

I really appreciate it.

Secondly if anyone is interested his new website is:
