kerwinl Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Anybody know if you can still access the ridge from the coleman? Last TR two weeks ago looked okay, and the sun is getting low in the sky now, maybe it is still doable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 the high traverse from 6000' is still getting done, though carrying over the route makes the approach easier. Follow the trail to Harrison Camp (below the glacier overlook), then cross the lower coleman at 5000', get onto the medial moraine just to the right of the prominent waterfall. Go straight up the compression zone between the Coleman and Roosevelt Glaciers to the base of the route. Above the ice step, head up and right to break through the highest crevasses onto the plateau.

kerwinl Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 One more questions, are people accessing the ridge by traversing left around the base of the ridge? Or is it still possible to use the ramps at the base with a short bit of scrambling across the scree as indicated in this TR? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1080237/TR_Mt_Baker_North_Ridge_8_26_2#Post1080237 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
