The Easton Glacier is the most direct route up Mount Baker’s southern flank. The scenic approach up the Railroad Grade leads to camp at the toe of the Easton Glacier. From there, the route gradually steepens as it ascends past the active volcanoes crater to a final push up the Roman Wall to the summit. Whether you’re an experienced mountaineer or a first timer on glaciers, the Easton delivers the goods for climbers of all skill levels.
The Coleman Deming is a varied and engaging mountaineering objective that leads to the summit of Mount Baker, Washington’s northernmost volcano. Climbers ascend the rolling Coleman Glacier and exposed Pumice Ridge before the final climb up the steep Roman Wall to the summit plateau. This classic mountaineering route should be on every Cascade climber’s list.
The Pickets are the most rugged, wild, and unexplored region of the North Cascades. With limited access points, steep terrain, brushy valleys, and glaciated peaks, the Pickets Traverse offers a unique challenge to those looking to really “get away from it all.” After getting a few miles from the trailhead, it’s common to not see another soul for days on end. Join us on an adventure like none other.
