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.
