Trip Description

Yet another Baker trip.... on the Coleman Deming or Easton route, depending on group preference and condtions.

Meet up Friday morning and car pool up to Heliotrope or Easton trail head. Hike and ski up to high camp.

Not-so-alpine start (ie depart 0700) to climb and summit, then ski back to camp. Depending on how we do for time, can then elect on whether we spend another night or ski out at that point. Trip will be adjusted depending on weather, so could be Sat-Sun.

Required equipment:

  • Winter camping gear
  • Crevasse rescue equipment
  • Ski boot crampons
  • Ski crampons
  • Beacon, shovel and probe
  • Other gear can be shared (stove, tent etc) Recommended gear list will be provided.

Fitness must be strong, but this won't necessarily be a fast climb. Must have also attended a recent crevasse rescue training session.

Must have a valid passport.

Preference given to members that meet requirements but are not already on the confirmed list for other trips. Trying to give everyone a shot.
