Baker Ski Area Ice conditions?

[Condor Iceclimb]

Anyone been up to the Mt Baker Ski area ice climb recently and know if it's still in? New to Bellingham area and hoping to check it out.

It's still in. Be aware that you have to lead the route and it cannot be TR'd.

to be accurate, you need to lead from base to be able to set up a TR.  once you lead it, TR as you please.

 

It is long pitch too so if you do TR, you will need a really really long rope (maybe 80m rope?)  or use 2 ropes.  either way expect a lot of rope stretch.
