Seeking Beta: EASTON on Baker SULPHIDE on Shucksan

[neswstar]

I've done neither of these routes. Heading up later this week. Wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share with me information like: if there is running water in camp, any unusual hazards, UTM of camps, etc.

thanking you in advance!

Easton usually has running water lower on the Railroad Grade. Melt snow while camped on the Sulphide.

 

Other than the normal hazards, marmots can be ferocious on Baker and the gully/couloir leading to the summit of Shuksan can be an absolute cluster when there are several teams up there.

thank you. Sounds like the thing to do is leave early and take all your food with you - and maybe the hiking poles too.
