Fist Mount Baker Summit trip route tips please

I planning on taking my first trip to the summit of mt. Baker, I want to know what the best route for a first timer would be, Colman Deming? Eston? How much of a wory are Cravases this time of may? What road/trail to get to the Mountain?<br><br>thanks

those kinds of questions make us nervous... you'll get better answers if you ask more knowledge-based and specific questions...<br><br>someone else want to do the "well-trained and certified mountain guide" spiel? I just can't bring myself to do that.

Coleman-Deming. Stay on the cattle trail, crevasses are not to be ignored, but the risk is extremely reasonable IMHO. Easton has more crevasses than the CD in general. And if you do the Easton, you'll be in the company of snowmobiles. <br><br>Don't follow the summer trail, go straight up the gullies behind the toilets/trailhead, then traverse to the glacier. Dunno what road that is, but you can find it in any guidebook. Have fun. <br><br>Like Justin says, make sure that you know what you're getting into. Take a rope, and know how to use it. If you die, don't sue me.

wait nevermind, go ahead and do the Coleman Headwall Direct, it's in the Becky Guide but you don't have to bother looking at that, in fact, I think that dude Lani is going up there this afternoon when the route gets warm enough to climb in shorts.<br><br>btw, can I get an e-mail at newschoolers.com too?

thanks for the info. I am quite experienced in alpine touring, but havent been on a glacier trip yet.<br><br>Getting an e-mail at Newschoolers.com is  also easy, and self explanitory.<br><br>one more question, is the true summit accesable, is it on the summit dome?

one more question, is the true summit accesable, is it on the summit dome?
