Trip: Mt. Baker in a Dress - Coleman Deming

 

Date: 9/15/2014

 

Trip Report:

 

This is Linsey's 97th peak out of the 100 highest in Washington, on track to the be youngest to finish this year. I'm on track to have eaten 100 Chipotle burritos this year, so we share a special kinship. Thanks Dereck, Cecil, and Bartek for coming along. Thanks Dereck for belaying me on the crevasse lip pics.

Gear Notes:

Route is steep ice and a verglass-y rock band on top of the Roman Wall, otherwise it's straightforward. We solo'd from the summit down, but for newer climbers I'd say be ready for some white knuckling on top of the Roman Wall - we saw a lot of parties get stuck here (a couple pickets + screws would be good).

 

Approach Notes:

Trail, then boot pack, jump 2-3 times, then ice, then rock, then crater.

When the shot of Linsey climbing the overhanging serac showed up on the Facebooks I assumed it had been photoshopped it was so stunning.

Stunning as usual Luke! You're a tough act to follow, image wise.

Not sure if folks know, but the young lady in the dress just became the youngest person to complete the Bulger list. A remarkable achievement for someone only 27 years old.
