Late-season choices on Baker?

[KevinGlover]

Hey all,

 

My name's Kevin. I got formal mountaineering training this summer and got a few peaks under my belt; not a lifetime of experience but enough to make me eager to keep learning. I'm solid on crevasse rescue, navigation and all of the basics but that doesn't mean I'm bold.

 

So, with that in mind I'm looking for ideas on what routes are good for Baker in early October. I did the Easton Glacier when it was just starting to get pretty heavily crevassed, and I understand it's a lousy late-season option.

 

 

Thoughts? Suggestions? I've got a keen eye on the weather and I'd appreciate people chiming in on that if this thread is alive when we're closer to October, too.

 

 

Thanks all,

 

Kevin

Coleman Deming Would be a good option. Here is a TR from summitpost from a couple years back during september. http://www.summitpost.org/mt-baker-coleman-deming-glacier/470492
