Description:
Broken Top is the prettiest approach and maybe the most stunning view from the summit of all the Oregon peaks. The climb consists of a long approach hike, then picking our way along an exposed ridge, then a short rock climbing section, and finishes with a catwalk with a lot of exposure. This is a great first technical climb as long as you are in GREAT shape, and can push your way through exposure (even if you aren't super comfortable). Be prepared for a 12 hour day consisting of a brisk hiking pace, and a physical, long traverse along the exposed ridge. Super fun!!
