LhotseDreems Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Mt Baker - The Coleman glacier is quite a mess. From what we saw it would be almost impossible to reach the North Ridge route. The Roman Mustache variation is chewed up. Heading up - stay on the Heliotrope trail to get up to Highcamp, the hikers path along the lower Coleman glacier is a nasty way to go.

SherpaJim Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 By my reconning, the Headwall looked pretty good but lots of hard ice. Getting to the North Ridge route from the Black Buttes would be a navigation challenge with detours away from the face. Lots of rock exposed on the North Ridge approach ramps.
