Matt_Alford Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Anyone been on the N. Ridge of Baker lately that would like to share some info on conditions. Especially lower Coleman crossing to access route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rymac Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 i'm interested in current conditions on the route as well. the rangers had a report from the 22nd of july, but it didn't give any details on the glacier. all the report said was that the ice was good.

Climzalot Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Had friends on it 2 days ago and getting over to the cutoff/base of the ridge was pretty involved. He said to stay low and head for the lowest compression zone above the Coleman ice fall. Some years in late season it works best to cross the Coleman and gain the Roosevelt via the compression zone below the upper icefall. Check out the picture of the north side glaciers in either the select book or beckeys guide. The route is in fine shape with little if any vertical sections according to him. Good luck.
