Mount Baker — Sunday, Jun. 2, 2019

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Climbed Baker via Coleman-Deming route in one day push.

Started at 3:30 am. Trail is great condition, there are two streams crossing - one of them may be tricky but doable. Reached climbers camp in couple hours or even less. There are were a lot of people waking up or starting their climb. When we reached the glacier we put crampons on and roped up. Glacier travel was great, very good boot track made ascent really easy. There are few small visible crevesses on the way, easy to step over, but conditions may change quicky. When we reached Roman wall to took some rest and some food before final pushh to the summit. Roman wall was ok but slow, some people from my group were already exhausted at this point. When we reached the summit we dropped our packs and went to actuall summit hill. Zero winds gave us unlimmited time to spent on the summit. We tooks some photos, rest and food and headed back. Snow became softer and slushy so Roman wall descent was really nice by fresh untached snow. On the way back we took little bit right of the trail and my buddy did step into hidden crevasse full leg deep. There are some hidden crevasse and tiny snow bridges, I would recommend stay on regular trail.
