Hey, I am thinking of setting up camp come this summer for four or five days of tooling around on Coleman. I would like a place from which to access varying types of day climbing. Serac, crevasses of various pitch/difficulty, top roping and leading, and route finding practice.
When I look at photos and a topo map it looks like around 5,000' near Heliotrope creek might offer dry ground for camping and easy glacier access. Does anyone know if this is true or would others have better suggestions?
I have spent quite a bit of time doing this on Elliot glacier on Mt. Hood but would like to try Coleman for a change.
