The most elegant route is up a rounded rib that drops from the summit to the Hooker. From the upper Hooker Glacier, climb snow fields and rock ribs, keeping an eye out for ice avalanches from cliffs to the right and left. Beware of soft snow slides later in the day in summer.
Adam Darragh and Parish Robbins climbed a ‘Baker Saddle East Face’ variant in the summer of 1997.
