Training on Baker
Spent some time on the Coleman glacier for AAI's 3-Day Glacier Skills and Crevasse Rescue course. We had amazing weather the first two days, but then got rained on the way out. Wish I had more time to go for the climb.
Went up to Sandy Camp on Day 1, then climbed to the summit and back to the cars on Day 2 starting at 1:30am. The weather on both days was incredible with hardly a cloud in the sky the entire time we were there. Great climb!

Got a little taste of Cascade weather....
Hiked up the Easton Glacier route. Lots of snow covered most of the crevs'. We got into thick fog/rain/snow/wind/white-out conditions from ~7000-~8500' and then broke thru to a perfect clear blue skies near the summit. The cloud deck covered everything below Baker. We went back thru the same white-out conditions on the descent .....for double the pleasure

North Ridge
What a climb with Andrew (son). After ridge, clouds with less than rope length visability, followed pon print to top, boot path down.

a wet slog
We took the Easton Glacier/railroad grade route. Spent two miserable days in the cold rain, and started in the fog at 4am. We busted through the clouds at 8000 ft into the glorious sun and had the whole mountain to ourselves. Due to a heavy snowpack we had minimal crevasse issues and made the summit in record time. Decesended back into the rain. Welcome to the cascades. On to Mount Hood next.

Coleman Deming Route -Bad Weather
Although we were successful, and we had a great time, the winds and fog made it a little worry some at a few points on the trip. It was snowing in the middle of July.
This was the first mountain I ever attempted to climb and we did not succeed. I want to go back and get this big beezie under my belt for good!

Easton Glacier
After climbing Mt Rainier 2 days prior, we decided another climb would be in order before my uncle had to fly out. Baker won the coin toss and we were off. Unfortunately, My uncle had to return to high camp when at 7,000 the blisters he had garnered on Rainier became too much. My brother and I continued and missed having him there with us on the summit.

Easton
Long slog in soft snow due to my team's inability to move with any speed. Camped at the foot of the glacier, then bagged the summit in the morning.
Snowmobiles are a bit of a bother on this route and many riders go out of the boundaries and ride the glacier. I'm just waiting for a crevasse to swallow one of them...
That aside; Great sunrise views from the Roman Wall and into the crater! Well worth the climb, but definitely preferable as a (long) day climb

Coleman-DemmingMy partner Toby and I left high camp at 4 a.m and went non-stop to the summit in 4 hours. Not too bad, considering he's blind...
What a gorgeous mountain!
