Approach


Take the East ridge approach and continue below the east face until it terminates at a col that has a panaramic view of Mt Baker

Route Description


Start up the ridge either on the rock or glacier, though the icefall/moat will probably determine where you move onto the rock. Continue up the ridge for a few pitches (depending on where you gain the ridge proper) and then move onto the ice for the last pitch up to the summit ridge.

Essential Gear


Ice Tools, Ice screws, Pickets, Crampon, Alpine Rack, Rope.
