I'm planning on climbing baker this weekend, june 3rd, and am looking for any route info on the coleman deming route. Another question, is baker doable in one day, or am I going to need to camp at heliotrope ridge, is there a higher camp? Any info would be appreciated.

it is definitely doable in a day, one real long day. much easer in 2 days. but if you are fit go for it.

 

i've done CD in 2 days a couple times. did the easton in a day on skis and we summited pretty late, noon, but the back down was quick.

Climbed the CD in a day with two friends last year at the end of May. Started at 9pm and got back to the car at 10:30. We wore hiking boots to the hogsback then swtiched to mountaineering boots and roped up. Next time I would rather start at 7 or 8 to see evening light on Baker and to watch the sun rising from the summit. I think I would also just wear the big boots to keep pack weight down.
