BOEALPS Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I know we used to post warnings like this, but got away from it for some reason. I'll be trying to post when BOEALPS will have classes out and where they will be. First up, there will be an ice climbing seminar with 12 people on the lower Coleman Glacier on Mt Baker on Saturday October 15th and Sunday October 16th.

chris Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I remember those days. Thanks for the heads up! It would be awesome if you also wrote up a quick conditions report afterwards. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 a skiff of snow in the forest at 5500'. the lower coleman looks all blue still. some water ice on the trail and the creek crossings are a bit slippery. Good skiing above 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsandPants Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It would be awesome if you also wrote up a quick conditions report afterwards. Thanks! Like Kurt said; a bit of snow in the forest on the way up (nothing more than a dusting). Rocks at the creek crossings were pretty iced over at this point. Our group stayed low on the toe of the glacier and didn't go to the seracs; were mostly top roping crevasses. Some good blue in there and we found a few really fun pitches. Also explored a few large moulins that were pretty cool to climb in. Weather was incredible and it was great to finally get the new tools out for a spin.
