Mount Baring stands at 6,129 feet and can be seen from the town of Index. Looming over the Barclay valley, Mount Baring is a challenging climb that requires confident scrambling skills and can be either unclimbable or requiring ice axes and technical gear in the spring and early summer when there is still lots of snow. The parking area for Mount Baring is the same for the popular Barclay Lake Trail. Once you climb through the steep forest nearly 2,000 feet in about a mile on an unofficial, but well-worn trail, you must ascend a steep gully to reach the exposed rock ridge line. This is an amazing section of scrambling, but please use good judgement and an honest assessment of your comfort and ability levels in this type of alpine terrain.
