Mostly a pile
Penelope and I hiked to Baker Lake and up the Peak after some locals told us that the hike was worth it. Well, it wasn't unless you enjoy scree piles and rubble for miles. Not very esthetic hiking IMO but a day in the mountains is never wasted...
Backpacked in to Baker Lake (excellent!), and climbed the slopes north of the lake at evening to the east summit. Didn't find any summit register, but I didn't have long to look as the sun was setting. There are some great pinnacles above the lake to scramble out on.

Lonesome Indeed
Climbed from Baker Lake trailhead via Baker Lake. Was surprised to find that I was only the 2nd person to sign the summit register in the past 2 years. I've climbed all the major peaks in the Snakes and this one appears to be the least visited. If you climb this one be sure to tag both summits as the east summit appears to be a few feet higher than the named summit at the west end.

The Big Lonesome
Worked here on the GBNP trail crew.
Climbed on quartzite rubble from the south (Baker Creek), always
have to be watching for sudden T-storms in this awesome area.

Basic scramlbe from the SE
Did it from the Baker/Johnson loop trail on a 3 day backpack, along with Pyramid peak. Not really difficult, just a long slog on talus. Did Wheeler/Jeff Davis, Bald Mtn 3 days earlier. Beautiful backcountry in GBNP!

From Wheeler
Part of a Wheeler-Baker-Wheeler-Jeff Davis day, Little talus, interesting climb.
When we reached the top of Wheeler for the 2nd time, a fellow asked Lori where we had been. She pointed to Baker, and he asked, "why?" and she said, "because it's there".

On the way to WheelerGrabbed both Bakers on the way to Wheeler from Baker Lake. Long, tedious, simple ascent from the lake. Great views. GPS tracks
