dberdinka Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 So what's the deal with technical routes on this pretty bitchin subpeak of Baker? Necro posted a recent photo showing an almost in (???) drivel of ice on it north face above the Coleman Glacier. Is this the Polish Route established by everyones favorite clown puncher? Or is that the rampy stuff a little further to climbers right. Necro, Bob, Layton fill us in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 There are two routes. The steep one on the left is polish bob's and the rampy one to the right isn't Kearny's route, it's not exactly sure who put it up. Either one are the prizes. I think they are more reliably in during early spring, but the hike is longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassgowkiss Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 are they in? if they are go and do it- they are fun. now i don't think i made fa, after talking to jason and steve house. there are 2 gulies on the n/ne face. when i was there 3 years ago only one was formed. jason was asking about details. my memory is kind of hazy, since we were drinking till midnight and left town at5 am totally hung over. most of the route was fairly moderate, with one steep step, protected by stubbies. there are no good anchors on the top, so don't get on the final snowfield or you'll end up having epic like we did. one more note- when we did the route we saw a couple of pins with a red sling to our left. i think they might form a bit to the left or right. and the rock is total choss.
