CascadeClimber Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Climb: Mt. Baker-Coleman/Upper Deming Date of Climb: 9/17/2006 Trip Report: A fresh coat of snow covered up the late summer ugliness. Two large crevasses have appeared just below the col at 9000', one is nearly wall to wall. Three Canadians on the way down Saturday said, "...it's impassable. Well, maybe if you traverse way over. We didn't have the gear." Whatever. The only gear we used was two screws to hold our tent down. The rangers have closed the toilets with a crafty combination of duct tape and clothes line. The weather sucked (though it did de-Mountiefy the route). It was just good enough to keep going until about 9800', where it started precipitating in every direction except down. Fuck it. We went on up, stumbled around in 150 feet of vis and got to the summit. Props to Garrett, Dave, and Heather for kicking ass their first time in crampons and dealing with the weather to make the summit. Three of five human sponges on the summit: Gear Notes: Goggles (priceless) Goretex (worthless) Umbrella (shouldahad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
