Approach Hike: Baker Pass trail 603 is commonly used to approach the Easton Glacier route. From the Baker Pass Trailhead, hike 3 miles to Morovitz Meadow, where an off-trail route climbs the "Railroad Grade" moraine upward to the Easton Glacier. Camping is available on the Railroad Grade or near Morovitz Meadow. Camp on permanent snow or established bivouac sites; don't camp in Morovitz Meadow. Climbing Route: From the head of the Railroad Grade, ascend the glacier wherever there appears to be the fewest crevasses (the glacier is usually less-crevassed on the west side). Climbers may want to cross the upper Deming Glacier, depending upon snow and crevasse conditions. From the crater rim head up the Roman Wall to the summit.
