Coleman Deming and Easton Glacier
The Coleman-Deming and Easton Glacier routes are entry-level climbs perfect for mountaineers new to glaciated terrain. With moderately angled glaciers, easy rock scrambling, and unforgettable views from trailhead to summit, this route is rewarding for novices and experienced climbers alike. Mt. Baker’s elevation and record-breaking snowfall totals keep this route in good climbing shape late into the summer climbing season.
The Coleman Deming is also a great advanced-level ski mountaineering objective in the spring. It doesn’t get much better than skiing off the summit and down the steep Roman Headwall followed by thousands of feet of wide-open glacier back to camp.
North Ridge
The North Ridge is one of the classic, advanced-level volcano climbs of the Northwest. The ridge itself ascends nearly 4,000 feet directly to the summit. Climbers should be prepared for challenging glacier navigation and multiple pitches of alpine ice climbing.
During the ascent, participants will gain confidence and become more skilled at moving efficiently through steep alpine ice and snow. This program is ideal for climbers who have completed our 5-day Mountaineering Course and have prior ice climbing experience. To prepare for this challenging objective, we recommend joining us in Ouray, Colorado, for three days of ice climbing the winter before your North Ridge climb!
