mumm Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 Thinking about having a go at ol baker in a couple of weeks, and wondering if anyone had any info on what the routes are like. Specificily whether or not it would be safe to ski unroped up the coleman deming route. Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 We were up there a few weeks ago. The road is closed 5 miles back from the trailhead, and a snow park permit is required. The upper route is in good condition with most of the crevasses well covered. And we did wear a rope. I'm torn on whether or not you need it, but we carried it and felt it was better if we spread the weight out. When you are up there, make your own choice as to if you want to go on w/o a rope. Better safe than sorry. We learned the hard way. Have a good climb... Quote
