Water ice near the Coleman

[studklimer]

So, me and a friend were up at baker last weekend to mess around on the coleman, and we saw a bunch of frozen falls. The longest was about 200-250 ft, and the rest were probably all around 180-200 ft. Anyone know anything about those? We ended up climbing the longest one, not the best ice, and not hard, but I imagine it would be pretty good later on in the year. There looked like there could be some pretty fun mixed routes. Just thought I'd see if anyone's been up there later in the year, and knows if the falls are any good. here's a pic. the falls im looking at are on the cliff band at the top of the pic. the coleman is just to the left.

yea, they've all been climbed and are mostly moderate in difficulty. good easy water ice access early in the winter though.

 

relatedly, the falls on the approach trail is starting to form and might get "in" before the road gets snowed in.

I had a good day on these about four years ago. Get before the snow hits because its probably the best ice you'll see in the immediate area this winter.

They get buried when the snowline lowers down. But yeah, early season they can be fun

Thanks all for the responses. I figured they had all been climbed, being that close to a popular hike and climbing route, but I wasn't sure. Thanks again.
