Pawkala Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Looking to summit Baker next week but have never been up there. My understanding is that this time of the year the Roman Headwall is all ice. What can I expect as far as degree, length. Is it mixed or all glacier? Any recent conditions would help as well. Thanks Quote
Farrgo Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 The Roman headwall will be -icy-, but no ice. It's still only glacier travel. It's one of the steepest sections of the route ~35degrees I think. This time of year its probably crowned by a very short section of rock. No rock pro needed. Quote
