jerseyscum Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Was looking at a Scurlock photo of Coxcomb side of Baker. Becky makes vague reference to two cleavers leading up to Coxcomb and has brief writeup of "Coxcomb route." In the Scurlock photo the cleavers look like gigantic ridges...& like quite separate routes for much of the way. Maybe it was the angle it was shot from.. But how steep & long are these ridges? Do they compare at all with North Ridge and how often are they done? http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/51443013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_A Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I looked around, but the best I could find is the Park Glacier route, that goes right up next to it. I think danielpatricksmith did the Park Glacier a while back; maybe he can chime in with what he saw up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've never heard of anyboy trying either one of them. There is no ice step and I bet climbing over/around the Cockscomb would be a challenge and it would require mixed climbing or rotten rock climbing totally unlike anything on the North Ridge unless there is a snow ramp around it.
