| fzte | Perfect Weather  Date Climbed: May 13, 2010 | |
| My first big climb since breaking my ankle 2 months earlier. Topped out just after 7am in perfect weather conditions. Coleman/Deming was in good shape and there were no open crevasses on the route. | |

| mrchad9 | Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain... Date Climbed: May 25, 2006 | |
| Rained on us half of every day of a 6-day glacier training course. One guy bailed in the middle of the night on day one, the rest stuck it out... Wetter and colder every day. Was both fun and miserable. Summit day was great though, got above the clouds and into the sun. | |

| fzte | Coleman/Deming Date Climbed: Feb 19, 2010 | |
| Camped out for 2 nights just below 6000ft. It was really windy but the weather was amazing. I got sick and opted not to go for the summit with my group. It was still an enjoyable couple of days in the mountains though. | |

| geosean | WWU OC Trip Date Climbed: May 24, 2008 | |
| My first climb on a glaciated peak! The WWU Outdoor Center fall trip went off without a hitch. We took the Coleman Route up Grouse Creek from the Heliotrope TH. Thunderstorm hit as we walked down the 2.8 snowy road miles to the cars. | |

| geosean | 2nd Route Climbed Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2009 | |
| It was a long day on the Easton Route due to some slow partners, but we made it up, and down just in time for a thunderstorm to hit. Went into the crater, which was cool – and sulphurous. | |

| ericwillhite | Left my wands! Date Climbed: Jul 27, 1997 | |
| Great weather above clouds, except for the rising clouds made trip down a whiteout. Placed wands going up, was begged by a party coming up to leave them in place. Should have asked for $$ http://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_climbing/mount_baker/climbing_039.htm | |

| Deltakyp | Easton; Glacier course Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2006 | |

| Karl Helser | Easton Glacier Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| We did the Easton Glacier route. The weather was perfect....a little warm on summit day but we started climbing at 3:00am so the mountain shaded us till we hit the summit. The descent was warm and very soft near the end. I like the Coleman Demming route better...more interesting... The Easton Glacier is a long slog with a few large crevasses. The views were awesome. We camped above "High Camp" although the camp was only 5800'. We had a small pool of water to filter and some bare ground to put the tent on. Lots of flowers on the Railroad Grade. We started out with 9-climbers and finished with 7...two were struck with AMS...or just a lack of energy. Instead of camping one more night after summiting, we just decided to pack up and walk out the same day. Dian and I spent the night in Sedro Woolley to get a good night sleep before the long drive home. Camp to camp 9.5-hours... | |

| JHH60 | North Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2008 | |
| Climbed the North Ridge as part of a 6 day AAI Alpine Ice class. Turned the climb part way up the ice cliff at 9600' due bad weather, communication issues, route finding problems on the leader's part, etc. I plan to go back and finish the route some time! | |
