Hi All, I am selling my toasty Marmot Col EQ sleeping bag. It has about 15 days on it, all but one in Alaska. Accordingly, the bag is in great shape. I can provide detailed pictures to anyone interested. It also comes with the storage stuff-sack as well. I just don't need this bag anymore- no cold weather trips in my near future anyway. Asking $375 + shipping if shipped (can pick up in SF Bay Area). Thanks. EDIT: The bag looks like this http://www.amazon.com/Marmot-Col-EQ-Sleeping-Bag/dp/B001AQQX68

Thanks for the reports all. Two of us are experienced and two of us aren't, so we might hold off. mtnfreak, I think I talked to you on the phone about this... I'm the Willamette guy. I was thinking normal glacier ice, but if it rained and is bullet proof, there might not be worth it. I saw the other thread on the seracs at the base of the glacier. Might think about doing that.

Thanks for the info! How steep is the ice below firn line? Are we talking steep enough for a running belay and ice screws or does it not get steep until the snow where a picket could be set if needed? I'm taking people up who don't have a great amount of ice and crampon experience and would like to minimize the hazard accordingly.

Hey all, I'm planning on climbing Baker for the first time the weekend of October 8th, weather permitting. I've been on Rainier and some other peaks in the cascades, but never up north. My pary is prepared as far as gear and cravace/glacier skiils go. Just trying to figure out what we'll encounter. So, here are my questions: 1) What are the conditions like right now on Baker? 2) Anything out of the ordinary? The route seems fairly non-technical, but is there anything specific that I should know about? 3) What is the glacier like? There's a good chance it might now up high by the time I get there. What is the route through the glacier like? Thanks! Jake
