schroden Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Interested in a climb on Baker. Will be in Seattle area for the week, and would be happy to join up for a climb, with or without a night on the mountain. Have climbed 11 14,000 foot mountains, LOTS of snow experience, including Whitney mountaineer's route on steep snow. Need partner(s) for glaciers. Allan Quote
Fjallen Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hi Allan, What route did you have in mind for Baker? Thanks, Sami Quote
ElectricEric Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I find out my schedule tomorrow and would definitely be interested in joining you if I can. I am fairly new to the climbing scene but am physically fit, all geared up, and a quick learner. Quote
schroden Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Just reviewed Summit Post routes, and think that Easton glacier, Squak glacier, or possibly Boulder glacier routes look good. I often climb on routes rather then established trails, and class 3 scrambling is fun, but have not been on vertical ice. Allan Quote
Fjallen Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Hi Allan, Easton sounds good, it looks like the 17, 18 and 19th are my best possible openings, have you arrived in Seattle yet? Will send PM. Sami Quote
Tony C Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I am interested in climbing Baker this weekend. I live about an hour and a half away on Whidbey Island. I have plenty of glacier and crevasse rescue experience. I haven't done Baker yet but have done Rainier twice, once last month. I have all my own gear, stove, 2-person tent but I do not have a rope. I am in great shape and won't slow you down. Tony 502-432-3316 Quote
STL_Greg Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Any one interested in going up the CD in a day this weekend? I have my gear, but no rope. I have snow experience but no real glacier experience. Fit and can keep up with any group willing to have a relative new guy on the rope. -Greg Quote
schroden Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Sorry for the delay in responding to those who would climb with me. My apologies! Will do better next time! I snagged a Mount St. Helens pass for Monday, and then climbed Adams Tuesday/Wednesday. Great climbs and perfect weather, if a bit windy. Clear skies and could see from the sisters all the way past Baker. Will try again next summer when we are out to visit. Allan Quote
